Could someone please offer any advice on whether this configuration works. I'm looking to spend up to £1500 for a laptop that my son can play games on while he's away from home for a few months. Thank you :)

Just made a couple of minor adjustments, namely the warranty upped to Gold, reason being is that on laptops, the GPU is soldered on to the motherboard, so if you get any GPU issues, you need a whole motherboard replacement which can be pricey, it's worth covering yourself as long as possible.

Have also upped the RAM to 5600MHz, Ryzen benefits from fast RAM otherwise you can bottleneck the system by about 10%

And removed Norton, it's really awful generally and very much best to leave of the system at all costs. Windows included anti virus which is far better and free.

So it has maxed out the cost.

Need to also add, the laptop 4060 is a 1080p card, but this laptop has a 1440p screen, so you'd need to reduce settings appropriately, but it's the best configuration for the budget
