sorry that £2399 is the new SRP subtract credit for my current laptop at £1100
so new laptop will cost roughly £1299.
I say roughly because i don't have the original ram modules and don't know what else they MSI will try to charge for.
also update,
received my shipping label this morning, but my address is incorrect, they left the main line of the address missing from the label. great another delay. I know im going to go insane without my laptop, its my main source of enjoyment/relaxation, i don't have console and my backup laptop only had intel hd from 4th gen, so not great for gaming fun... i hope i get the new laptop asafp!
you see mate your offer here;

my srp was about 1400ish, and my offer was around 1,200 ill have to dig it out....
so clearly the amount they are valuing your current laptop is too low and you should get a bigger "discount" price as they call it
tbh if your not upgrading models and just going like for like, but just for GPU as it should be I would pay no more than £500.
realistically as MISJAH and myself have pointed out that £700ish for a 1070, minus £350-450 for your old card so £500 is still overpaying, but acceptable for me
also consider this, you could probably sell your current laptop and add your 1,100 to it and get a brand new laptop probably better value (maybe even a different brand
)
also consider no matter what, this should be an upgrade GPU as promised, therefore your current configuration and condition of laptop should be 100% complete irrelevant here, which is why I would encourage you to push for a better deal imo. THE ONLY TIME your laptop spec should matter, is if you LOSE features and therefore a further discount should be provided to compensate a loss of features as when you purchased you agreed to a GPU upgrade, not a swap laptop lose feature gain a new card and pay our the butthole for it....
edit: update, neil said he would ring with tracking number at some point today, just replied to his email and says he is out of office from 7th until 13th now... so perhaps expect a slow down as things only seem to happen when neil chases it up....
