Collected this from the guys this morning. Nothing special - just a business use notebook that will do some fairly serious multi-tasking, but only of the normal browsing, email & business application type of stuff.
I discovered on Thursday afternoon that I had to go more or less past the PCS front door today. A new laptop was in the plans, but I hadn't even started to think about what, exactly. So I rang & spoke to Matthew in Sales, really just to confirm that late Thursday to Monday was pushing it a bit. We'll have a go, he says.
So we set about specing it up on the phone. Finished about 4.45pm. I've added the times to the dates on my order.

So thanks lads, one & all.
I've now done all the other jobs that took me up to your part of the world & am back home again. Now to unpack it & see what it looks like. I'll post back later when it's up & running (or not!).
