  1. Just adding a bit more information that may help other potential purchasers now that I have my new Defiant. As Mutley stated, the build quality is excellent with very little flex anywhere. The entire case (including underneath) appears to be metal so not sure where the plastic comes in unless it is the keys. The (metal) keyboard is comfortable to use although I think the clicks on the pad could be a little more defined. Personal preference. They work OK and I invariably use a mouse, anyway. The pad itself feels fine. My only gripe so far is the poor volume on the speakers.

  2. Hi Mutley, Thank you for your prompt response to my previous comment. The chassis metal/plastic configuration you describe is exactly what is on my old Samsung and is fine. Tnanks to your recommendation, I am now considerably poorer, having just snapped up the last remaining sale offer Defiant. There will probably be an even better deal for something suitable over the next week or two, but that is just Sod’s Law. If the Defiant is as good as I am hoping, I am more than happy with the deal. Thanks again for your help.

  3. Hi Brett, you may not have been aware of Chillblast's range before as they are a UK based company, but they have been selling award winning laptops for many years.

  4. Nice review Joe. So much so, you have persuaded me to purchase one. Have been looking for some time. My present laptop, Alienware M15x, is a bit long in the tooth....12yrs. Ok, so have updated the Drive to a 2TB SSD also increased the ram from 4GB to 8GB; maximum the MB will take. Will be nice to have a portable machine that can run a simmulator though, P3D 4.5 in my case.

  5. Maybe his beta copy does have a working AP, I have never known Joe to be a shill or dishonest. Instead of coming off like you did, why not ask him why his AP works and yours does not.

  6. Good evening to all from Hampshire UK! I've had a busy fortnight or so since a significant birthday, for which my better half allowed the purchase of the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo! Mind you, bless her, she did manage to whack my Saitek Throttle Quadrant with her cello case, resulting in a severed Mixture lever. I confess I had grown tired of the Saitek, and since they've been taken over by Logitech, their customer service has to my mind been very mercenary. My Saitek rudder pedals just stopped working - warranty investigations were inconclusive and with no UK service centres to

  8. Fab review Andrew It really is a decent bit of kit. I finally managed to get my paws on the Bravo about a month ago (all the way from Germany, unfortunately), but i love it! The flexibility to change the axis for any aircraft is genius, and the quality far exceeds that of my old Saitek throttles. I sold off my old Saitek switch, BIP, and Autopilot panels as this has now replaced them all, but glad i kept one of my old Saitek Cessna trim wheels.. the Honeycomb trim wheel just doesn't want to play ball at all! Some of the switches (which defaulted in the standard set up) don't seem to w

  9. Great review Joe I used to fly the original incarnation of AH back in FSX, and remember AH2 being launched at one of the Cosford shows a few years back (or was it 4+ years? ) It was so immersive, and was a great way to fly to all sorts of places that I would never think of visiting; it truly gave you lots of reasons to fly.. cracking program, and good to hear it is available now for FS2020
