Adopting a design which is more suited to the gamer, Proteus II has a concaved plastic lid which has two red accents. Both accents glow when the notebook is powered up. Our only feedback for this area is that at this level we might have expected higher quality material used such as steel or aluminium.


Flipping Proteus II over, we have five rubber feet to prevent the unit from sliding on smooth surfaces. There are various areas which feature ventilation cut-outs for the internal components to have an outlet for heat dissipation. There is a large subwoofer to enhance the audio experience and supply some bass.

The battery unit on Proteus II is fixed inside the protective cover and is not detachable. This battery is 8 Cell Lithium - 5,200mAh.

The reverse also features the serial number and technical details in case you need to contact PCS for support.


Around the back of Proteus II there are two areas for ventilation to support the CPU/GPU and in the middle there are various ports including:

• AC power port
• Gigabit LAN port (RJ45)
• VGA port
• HDMI


Over on the left edge of the notebook there is a wide selection of functionality. From left to right we have:

• USB 3.0 port
• USB 2.0 port (Extra power to charge mobile devices)
• SDXC card slot reader (SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC)
• Battery, HDD and WiFi LEDs

It’s great to see that our notebook has a super-charge port for charging devices such as mobile phone or tablet and that we also have an SD card slot reader.


While on the alternate side we have even more functionality by way of:

• Headphone & microphone jacks
• 2x USB 3.0 ports
• Kensington lock
