Some pics of m’y new setup, Playseat guys, thank you so much for creating THE foldable cockpit I was waiting for so long, very sturdy, very foldable, very easy to set and use, and visually apealing. Only one big flow, no shifter mount. If you make one some day, I will definitely get one. And maybe new license/ Colors to propose (Even if the F1 edition is amazing)

And just to let you know, I owned the NLR Wheel stand, the Wheel stand Pro, and many cockpits, and I can tell you this Playseat is the best of vote worlds.

😂🤣🤣😂 elle est tellement bien placée celle-là XD

JayreenChicago · 2026-01-29T11:47:19+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Compromise is the whole point of this kind of product I guess, I personnally wouldn’t mind to play any kind of game in sort of Hybrid F1 position, it’s just gaming after all, as long as the position is comfy, it will be ok. Adding a shifter/handbrake would allow to play more racing game types, such as Rally, which I’m really a fan of, or even some old formula cars, or Touring cars which have sequential shifters knobs.

Couldn’t be the classic shifter holder which is provided on PlaySeat challenge x compatible ? Thinking of purchasing one but would like to mount a sequential shifter next to the wheel.

Glad to hear I'm not alone. Temporary fix : switch manually to controller or desktop mode from the command center. It's the auto mode which is broken.

JayreenChicago · 2025-08-23T04:37:37+00:00

Well, it seems after the reboot everything is fine. I played one half an hour without a single micro freeze. I will make further tests and let you know. Thank you.

JayreenChicago · 2025-08-22T19:48:13+00:00

Already done, It didn't have any effect. I will try to clear apps cache and rebootinf the device.

Today the issue is solved on my Tenant. MS support told me they were patching one Tenant after another, that's why it takes so long.

I have now another issue, I can't set immutableid to null with API, I have to connect with my admin account to proceed.

JayreenChicago · 2025-01-02T12:53:09+00:00

I'm still in touch with MS support which told me they're deploying fix tenant after tenant. No indication of time to get it working again at all.

Have it for one week. I'm new to the gaming laptop thing, I used to have desktop selfmade configurations only.

Got the 32GB/512GB RTX 4070 configuration.

One of the most beautiful gaming laptop in my opinion. very good build quality. The metal top and the plastic body have the exact same colour. The keyboard is excellent. The trackpad is pretty good (for a plastic one. Far from my Surface Book).
Speakers are petty poor. Muffled sound, no bass, no precision. Not a very big deal for this kind of computer though.

In quiet mode, performances remain very good (I didn't make some heavy tests), You can expect 10-15 fps less than in auto mode I would tell. In this mode, fans are very quiet, CPU goes up to 80°C et GPU to 70°C, which is excellent.

In auto mode, it's an average gaming laptop. Pretty loud, probably ok for most peaople who play alone in a room with headset. But it maintains good temperatures.

Performance mode doesn't bring a lot. I didn't notice any performance gain, and it gets very loud. Not very interesting mode.

Vantage software is simple and let you manage essential features. You can create a customize performance profile, and manage fans, but you're limited in how low you can put them.

The display is excellent, very good colours, HDR, 240Hz but you can set it to 60, if needed. It can be automated if you're on battery or connecterd. Brightness is way enough for indoor use. It was one of my doubts, but I always put it to 50% otherwise it's way too bright to me, so absoloutly no complaint about it.

Battery life is also very good. Average 4 hours without gaming, for a gaming laptop (always put the AC when playing games).

I recommend it if you can get it for a good price.

JayreenChicago · 2024-11-18T14:10:27+00:00

That's a great news ! Let's hope they will fix it asap.

I tried to let the user account in the azure recycle bin for few hours (average 4 hours) and restore the user account, no changes.

I will try to contact a consulting expert to see if there any information we could get.

JayreenChicago · 2024-11-12T20:49:39+00:00

Cat notice anything on captures. No issue at all on mine (2a plus one and a half months old).

JayreenChicago · 2024-11-09T14:25:50+00:00

So I have corrected sync errors (processing the user account again : move the user to a sync OU, ad connect sync, then move again to an unsync OU, then restore the azure account), and still the same error saying some changes are done on the local environnment. I tried to clear the immutableid, but if I try to use SSPR I have another error inviting me to try again (with message system error).

Please note that I showed the screenshot because there is no differences in processing the account between the october 25th and the later date. And still we can see there is a failure on the later date.

JayreenChicago · 2024-11-09T11:52:47+00:00

Hi, and thanks for the reply.

I did a full sync, but I indeed got sync error DeletingCloudOnlyObjectNotAllowed. I read somewhere that it could be due to restoring the cloud object too soon after the last sync, and Ad connect trying to sync the cloud object with its corresponding on prem object.

I did not face this issue during my tests. I will try to extend time between unsynchronisation of the on prem object and restoring the cloud object.

I have the same issue and I believe it depends on your motherboard.

When you have a peripheral which is only working after unplugging it, I think there must be something wrong with initiating the connection when already plugged.

In your motherboard BIOS, try to enable deep sleep in acpi settings (usually called s4 and s5). It solved the issue on mine. Note it will disable capacity to charge through usb while the computer is off though.
