I wanted to get a a professional laptop where most of my work would rely on working on a number of office files, video conferencing and online teaching.

Also wanted to know the difference between Fusion IV and Fusion IV Pro models as there seem to be significant discrepancies in the price for similar spec?

This shows the differences between them (just ignore the middle one as had to choose 3 for the compare):

Fusion vs Fusion Pro

The extra price is basically because one has an AMD CPU and the other is an Intel (Intel's are more expensive)...Intel can allow less RAM but more M2 drives (fast hard drives)

Thanks for this. But in terms of adjusting the spec for my needs was wondering would this suffice and have I future proofed it enough to last me around 5-6 years?

Well, I'm not a laptop expert. However, for your needs, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't do what you want. I personally would make some adjustments:

RAM - Change to 2x8GB rather than 1x16GB. RAM is dual-channel and so works better in pairs
Hard drive: I'd be wanting more storage as 512GB on a professional machine may fill pretty quickly. Of course, if you have external storag then you will be fine as is
Anti-Virus: Remove the Bullguard. Has a history of causing issues and the built-in Windows Defender is, in my opinion, better
Warranty: Up it to Silver for only £5. Better coverage, especially in terms of carriage costs if repairs are needed

Thank you so much for your reply and input! Really appreciate it!

Hi guys,

After much contemplation, I finally ordered this laptop. I’m not a pc expert by any means but thought this may be ok for my needs? Would appreciate if someone checked the specs to validate my choice.

I’m not a gamer or need the laptop for editing media files, I mainly will need it for professional work involving online/virtual teaching, opening and editing large ppts and internet research.
