Hi friends, just trying to get a feel as to whether this can be improved for this price point, trying to stay as close to £2.5k as possible (I've been given this as a target).
I'm a big builder/enthusiast so I'm pretty familiar with the most recent technology, but do you think these are the right choices for that amount of cash? Or can there be improvements made? (Swapping one M2 for another for instance)

32gb RAM may be a waste, for example, but it's hard to say without knowing what you're doing with the laptop.
