Replacing my 2012 PCS laptop

Hi all

I've had a PCS laptop since 2012 but it's showing signs of age now so time for a new one. I got the best spec I could afford at the time to future-proof it, so I'd like to do the same again.

Apart from train sims I don't really game but I do a lot of photo editing with Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. that's quite RAM and graphics intensive. Thought I'd give M2 a go. Two SSDs as I'd like to use one for a regular system image backup.

Would be grateful for any thoughts on this spec.

Thanks

Rob

The spec seems fine except for:
. Two SSDs as I'd like to use one for a regular system image backup.

I'd not sure an expensive NVMe SSD is necessarily worth buying for system image backups.
