Hi all, I've had an Optimus IV laptop for a few months now and absolutely love it. The only on-going niggle I have with the laptop is to do with the screen, in that it's a pain to keep clean. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand that I'll never return it back to it's pristine 'brand new'...

Hi guys, I think I already know the answer to this, but my Optimus laptop was stolen during a burglary. I gave the police the serial number, but is there anything else I can do? :( My mind is a complete mess right now so I can't think what else to maybe try. Any suggestions? I'm annoyed I...

Potentially a contentious topic, but just wondered two things regarding PCS laptops: - Is the BIOS locked on for example the Vortex III or SkyFire models? - Has anyone attempted to overclock their GPU slightly on one of the above? I would assume it could possibly void the warranty but I was...

Hi, Would greatly appreciate any advice or comments on the below quote. £1000 is approx. the budget for a replacement laptop. I decided to go for the GTX660M GPU, there doesn't appear to be too much difference between that and the GTX670M - aside from the latter producing more heat (according...
