[PCS]

Great spec!

 

[Phoenix]

Looks good

 

[toondw]

Thanks folks. Hopefully pcs will have my cash tomorrow and can start to build it. I am hsbc and pcs are hsbc bank so the cash should clear quickly!!! Then the daily ritual of checking progress, even though i know nothing will change in the first week or so i will still check! ;-)

a watched pot never boils etc etc

 

[Craig]

just change your warranty to the silver one. its £5 more and it gives a year on collect and return.

 

[Sleinous]

As Craig says yes a v nice spec!

 

[toondw]

I have now changed to the silver service, thanks for the shout Craig. payment has cleared so now just the wait for the beast to arrive!

 

[Sleinous]

btw, very few laptops have upgradable gpus. This is done through MXM, which not many manufacturers adopted (in comparison to the grand total of laptops on the market of course).

 

[toondw]

? Have i missed something? ;-) or have you put this on the wrong thread sleinous.
