Well just completed my order for my new lappy was considering the 17.3 optimus as couldn't get the Skyfire within my £1200 budget.
I gave the guys at PCspecialist a call to finalise the spec on talking to them they helped me tailor the spec explaining that I was able to carry out minor upgrades later myself eg RAM without voiding the warranty and that I could upgrade the warranty within the first 9 months if I wished.
They then applied a discount code to the order for me bringing the Laptop within my budget. All in all a very pleasant sales experience thanks guys.
Now its just a case of waiting for my new lappy to arrive let you know what I think when I get it.
