Identical machine to mine, you will love it.
Here's hoping for a speedy process for you.

Ordered nearly the same spec Can't wait!

Laptop due to arrive between 3+4 today... can't contain my excitement.

Changed the hard drive, Scorpio Black now 2nd drive with an SSD primary and now got the 3630QM instead.

Will report back when I've used it.

Identical spec to the one I just had delivered, but I couldn't stretch to an SSD drive (I also got the 3630QM updated marginally from the original quote though).

Its brilliant, very pleased with it. Nice build quality, good looking and good sized lappy. Runs everything I wanted to use - AutoCAD, Sketchup, rendering software, photoshop etc. Finally I can rotate in Sketchup with shadows on, or zoom in and out of a compelx CAD drawing with no stuttering!

I've installed Skyrim too which pleasingly defaulted to Ultra graphics settings and runs beautifully. Have also installed Black Mesa Source (not tried it yet though) which also set everything to 'High' graphics settings.

So yeah, well pleased.

In fact my only minor gripe was the dispatch time of 13 working days, but in everything else so far - spec level, price, communication on dates etc, PC Specialist have been exemplary.
