Welcome back, dude, it'll be so good to have you back on the forums.

I'm just sorry your last system didn't work out, really hope the Ionico is streets ahead.

It's good to be back.

You know my laptop history since I left PCS and it just proves the big manufacturers are susceptible to exactly the same manufacturing issues as PCS (even if you do sound £3k) so I'm happy to come back.

I've been following the forums the whole time since I left and I have seen generally nothing but good reviews for the Ionico so I'm pretty excited.

Yeah, the Ionico does definitely seem to be one of the more reliable chassis at the moment, and really nice specs.

Well god bless PCS. I had settled in for a 2-3 week wait for my laptop. It turns out because they didn't have the Ionico in stock they put my Valeon on the priority build Queue. Received an email this morning to say its being built.

That is incredibly quick!
