I like the optimus but I cant see an option for selecting an i7-8xx series cpu. would it be possible to select this customly? Please advise and let me know if any other models would be better for his needs. P.S. forgot to add he renders a lot of HD video and CPU intensive 3d work. hence the 8 series i7. also please dont suggest a desktop as for some reason his mother wont let him have one!
