Hi, An update on this. So it turns out the card was faulty. I tried everything, including disabling the Killer app. PCS sent me a new card, which i replaced and so far so good. 5g speeds are absolutely fine. So if anyone has a problem like this, could be a fault with the card as it was with...

I wish mine allowed me to change it. Can't change it on the fly at the moment. Don't know why

Hi, I'm a little disappointed so far with my new PCS laptop; its got 3 issues (all reported with PCS messaging centre for now), but I wanted to reach out to see if anyone can help with my screen brightness issue. It used to work, but now it doesn't seem to want to know! The laptop spec is as...

Earlier this week I received my 15.6" COSMOS IX laptop. After 7 years using my old PCS laptop, it was time for an upgrade and so far, I am absolutely chuffed. The spec I ordered was: Chassis & Display Cosmos Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD 144Hz 45% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor...

Ah ok, good to know. Will do that. Thanks

So to rule this out, I had the killer app open to see download and upload speeds and nothing was showing. I also switched and connected to the 2g channel on this laptop and the speeds were much faster; thus ruling out downloads hogging bandwidth. On my phone and other laptop, these were also...

Weirdly its ok this morning. Worked fast straight away. No idea what happened. I tested it out of the box, with no heavy apps installed initially and that's where I started seeing weird stuff.

Hi, I got my new PC Specialist laptop yesterday and it's brilliant, really happy apart from 1 annoying little thing. I upgraded to get the killer wifi card and at home my router is split into 2 channels: 2g and 5g. When I connect to my 5g signal which gives a much quicker internet experience...

I bought my old laptop from PCS 7 years and I remember having a couple of issues which were quickly rectified through their inbox messaging service within my account portal. Can't complain with the service I had and as a result, I'm now waiting for my 2nd PCS laptop to arrive this week. If I...

Thanks for this recommendation!

Thank you. Would something like this be ok...

Hi, I've got a PC Specialist laptop on order and it should be ready within the next 2 weeks. I've also got another laptop which I need to take the 2.5 ssd hdd out and transfer the data across to my new laptop (old laptop doesn't turn on but I need the data). I've seen some kits on amazon which...

Glad I read this - I just updated my order and added an M.2 NVMe drive to run as the boot drive and applications!

Thanks for the help. I upgraded the WIFI card to the killer card and took your advice on the 2 slots of 8gb RAM, 2666Mhz. I placed an order on Friday last week, and its roughly 2 weeks for build, so I will post a review once I get it :)

Learning everyday here, thank you! I was thinking save a slot, single piece of 16gb then add more later but didn’t realise about dual channel mode.

It's a 512gb SSD, so rather than wasting it, I was going to use that instead. I'm assuming though, for my uses, I won't notice a difference between Intel or an AMD processor? I get that if I was doing some really heavy lifting, then the difference is probably noticeable? Also, 16GB ram should...

Sure - URL for the order is https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/cosmosIX-15/pGWEmksd5F/ Aesthetic reasons for the laptop? No. I chose it for the value for money to be honest, but interestingly you mentioned AMD for a better option. Why is that? It's been years since I used an...

Hi, I'm replacing my old laptop which was purchased back in 2013 from PC Specialist and it lasted really well. I've spec'd out the following laptop but want some 2nd opinions if possible. My uses: Heavy: Google Chrome (Google sheets, docs, Wordpress websites etc..), Screaming Frog (SEO...
