A 970m in a Vortex performs worse than a 960m in an Optimus in Battlefield Hardline?! Is that the 4710MQ bottlenecking the Vortex for that particular game then??

That is my bad actually, forgot to put in the graphics settings each game used - will intend to fix this.

EDIT: Added and fixed - Optimus was using medium settings as opposed to the Vortex using Ultra settings

Defiance 15" Battlefield framerate doesn't appear to be consistant with the benchmarks from the other 970m laptops.

What happens to all those laptops you've now built and used?

rhyrob · Oct 28, 2015

do you have any benchmarks for skylake laptops?

CountBorgula · Apr 7, 2016

Defiance II 14 inch would be nice to see.

Oussebon · Apr 7, 2016

http://www.ebuyer.com/search?q=pc+specialist They sell them I guess. I've seen a few places stock PC Specialist systems, with ebuyer having an above average selection of their laptops. I suppose (at least some of) the benchmarks will get added to the product pages. Odd that there aren't benches for the Skylake ones they sell, perhaps they're still under way?

jamesbarton988 · Nov 22, 2018

SHould this still be sticky? Or updated?

Oussebon · Nov 22, 2018

No, just necroed.

I'm not sure if PCS found it worth the time to update the list, besides benchmarks of at least some systems are available here https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/reviews/ anyway
