The Matroska Media container is a very popular, open standard Multimedia container which is usually found as .MKV files. It is a very popular format in enthusiast circles and can be played directly in Windows Media Player with suitable codecs installed. We use the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP).
We ripped our BluRay disc of Sniper Reloaded to 1080P MKV and use Windows Media Player to playback the file.
1080p MKV files are demanding of the partnering hardware. The system loses 32 percent of processor time to render our high load test file. Still plenty of time left over for multitasking however.
Well this is rather daring from PC Specialist. never heard of them before, but thats a heck of a move. I know a lot of people who would love this, even with a bit of extra heat.
Only issue I could see would be a long term fan dust clogging issue, and this machine would overheat very soon. I suppose many laptops are like that however so nothing that big a deal.
Thats a great little system, id probably opt for a slightly lesser CPU though to keep down temps.
I really like this too, great price. Shame they dont ship outside UK.
@Mannacua, while they don’t personally ship outside the UK I have heard of people getting the confirmation from PCS that it is ready (and arranging for them to hold onto it) and then sending in their own couriers to pick it up and ship it out as self pickup is an option!
So far heard great things about this and having owned a Viper III from PCS am sorely considering getting this as a travelling companion!
Any way to adjust the fan speed on this? I have the same one and my fans dont show up on any software.
