Don't buy this for gaming. The GTX 1050 is poor value compared to laptops with the 1050 ti, which is the GPU I'd consider the minimum worth buying for gaming.

Somehow you're managing to spend £1107 on a laptop that only has a 1050 in it. For that money you should expect a 1060 / 1660 at the least.

Or a laptop with a 1650 in it for much less.

The warranty and the £60 fast dispatch aren't helping with the value.

Shop around on other stores. It didn't take long to find something with a 1060 for ~£1000. We can't give advice on non-PCS specs, but do not buy the spec you've posted, you're robbing yourself blind.
