I just checked the current line-up and saw the 15.6 Defiance is now refreshed into a Defiance XS. As an ownder of the predecessor I noticed the following main differences:
Thickness: 18.6mm vs 25mm on previous model.
Weight: 1.9kg vs 3kg on previous model
Less HDD capacoty: 1 x M.2 and 1x 7mm...
..ended up being pretty great to be honest :)
Laptop died on 12th, PCS shipped a box on 13th, DPD picked it up on 14th, PCS got it on 15th, PCS sent me an automated 3 day "sorry it isnt fixed yet" message on 18th, PCS sent me an update on 22nd and shipped it on 22nd and I got it today.

My defiance III passed away last night in its sleep, at 9 months... so young... Funeral is on thursday, waiting for PCS to confirm the RMA arrangements. Really appreciate everyones thoughts being with me during this difficult time.
Anyone else having this problem? I went out and everything was working. I got back, the laptop had restarted after windows update and now the HDMI port just doesn't work. I tried 2 cables, 2 different monitors and a TV in all possible combinations.
Reinstalled the Geforce drivers.
Tried to...
From the GDC conference:
35% better than GTX 1080

Globally releases next week for $699, no doubt we will have to pay a lot more. No idea when PCS will get it though but probably soon
Hi
In using my new laptop, I found a few tricks by accident, and further digging. So here is some information which is hopefully useful to some of you.
Clevo Control Centre and CPU utilization
Of the four profiles in the Control Centre, three of them have an impact on CPU clock speeds:
1)...
OK I will try to be brief but you all know I struggle. I was playing with keyboard lighting and realised that the flexikeys software custom profiles only give limited options (setting colours per 3 zones and 3 brightness levels) but the other colour profiles in the software demonstrate that the...
Everything else works in FlexiKeys but whenever I scroll to the colour picker it crashes immediately... "combokeys has stopped working". It has a problem signature 09: System.ArgumentOutOfRange. This has only been happening since 10/01/2017 and I noticed that my system did a "Cumulative Update...
I finally got round to installing my SM961 but it isn't being detected. I can't see it in disk management or in the BIOS. The slot does work fine when I put an M.2 in there so I know the slot it working. I am running windows 10 pro, I saw some posts about UEFI being enabled and in my BIOS, it is...
Gather round, its time for a review :chef:
Specifications highlights as follows:
i7 6700HQ, GTX 1060, 16GB DDR4 HyperX Impact 2133MHz, 128Gb M.2 SSD (to be replaced soon with a 256GB NVMe), 250Gb Samsung 840 SSD* (see the note), 2Tb Samsung Spinpoint M9T HDD
I also paid for the gold warranty...
I have checked online on other fora and my battery life seems to be complete ****ake mushrooms :chef: compared to everyone else's. I can only squeeze out 3.5hrs or so, have been fighting for at least 4hr runtime for a few days. I installed hwinfo and some other software to monitor my realtime...
Defiance III only lets you put one NVMe in the first slot. But I got a closeup of the 15.6" GTX 1060 version here: http://pile.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/EVOC-Clevo-P650RP6-G-motherboard.jpg?x98114
The one slot that is occupied has the basic M.2 SSD in there which is...
Laptop is awaiting dispatch since 7:48am this morning, it is day 2 of the 3 day fast track. Anyone know the odds of it being dispatched today so I will get it tomorrow? Knowing it has been ready since early morning, if it takes another day to simply leave the facility that will be quite...
I have put in the order. I can't wait :tooth: :sweatdrop::stuart: :chef:

I have to say, I have purchased two laptops from PCS and have been really happy. I was ready to buy the Defiance III now, but for some reason I am now being forced to buy a hard drive with it. I had a chat with someone on the live chat who insisted there was no flexibility with this either. It...
Firstly, hello.
The Clevo P651RP6-G is effectively the same as the Defiance III which is officially listed as the P650RS-G on PCS's site. The review which includes images, temperatures (cue Moheli), etc is all here...
I ordered the Vortex IV LE on Saturday 14th on 5 day fast track, it was built on the 18th, tested 18th until 19th, marked as awaiting dispatch on 19th at 1pm and dispatched 20th 4pm. Thanks to all the people involved in my order for making it go smoothly, I got the laptop today just as expected...
Couldn't find a place for this.
I ordered my Vortex IV LE on saturday with fast track. It was built yesterday and awaiting dispatch today at 1pm, I was hoping it would be with DPD today but no update so I assume tomorrow.
Do PCS only release the saturday deliveries on a friday or monday...
