PCSpecialist Optimus V X13 Review


DSCF1439
The PCSpecialist Optimus V X13 ships in a large plain brown box.

Inside, a smaller ‘Notebook Computer' box with the words ‘enjoy with me' written underneath. Not sure what that means, but let's move on.

The 13.3 inch Optimus V X13 laptop is protected between two thick foam pads and is covered in a plastic wrap. We will set this to the side for now and look at the laptop on the next page.

The bundle contains all we would expect. A quick start user guide, software/driver discs, the power adapter and cable.

The power adapter is by ‘Chicony' and can operate between 100-240V. It is rated 19.5V, 6.15A at 120W. It is modestly sized, but quite large when placed beside the tiny laptop.
DSCF1451
A decent sized battery is included, rated 5600mAh (62.16Wh). We will analyse battery life later in the review.

  1. well, had a look at it, and it seems that price is a load of crap.. thats the price for the base unit with the dual core pentium CPU, nnd the basic ram/HDD setup. -_- was about to put in an order.

  2. Click the reviews tag at the top of the pcspecialist page and you will find this exact spec for £749. I’ve used this company several times and have always been very happy with the service and the product. Hope this helps

    I’ve had this laptop (but a higher end config) since 2014 now. The chassis is garbage. PC specialist have been nice enough to change it for me twice now but, basically, you get a lot of cracks from the very sharp corners around the screen and keyboard as they are stress concentrators. The internal hardware is real good, however and PC Specialists have been quite good with customer care.

  4. I’ve also got this laptop. Yep I had the chassis changed too, funnily enough I also bought in 2014. I am having continuing problems with overheating, have swapped the thermal paste no end of times, think the heat pipes might be busted or something.
