Yes, (guessing supplier) - but is there a NVMe added/included in price?

Yeah 1tb m.2 NVme 1925mb SSD.

Want 17" and everything that is more of a brand name is close to £1800-2000 for similar spec.

Well was initially saying not available until late March but that changed yesterday. Running through it all now says 8-10 days.

Thanks, yeah I will keep you updated and thanks for the help.

Might throw the dead pixel cover in and the arctic silver on the cpu.

I ended up going with Lenovo legion pro 5. The deal popped up as I was in process of about to order. Couldn't resist going with amd and better all around specs for £1350. While could be 5 weeks delivery, I'm not in any rush at the moment as still using that cloud gaming service shadow on an oldish laptop.

Yeah the 16" 165Hz 2560x1600 resolution.

I use a Lenovo for work that's about it haha.

At that point now though where the wife doesn't mind if I play a lot, just as long as I'm in the same room as her, so got a lapboard and using the cloud gaming service. While it does the job, still get the odd lag spikes and the mouse still feels a bit jerky on FPS games so want to remove that limitation.
