I've gone for a different brand because I need it sooner and want the AMD Ryzen, not as high spec but quite a bit cheaper as I decided I probably don't need the 32gb of RAM. The main sacrifice is the SSD size but that isn't too much of a problem. Thanks anyway for all the help in this thread.

My old laptop is on the verge of being dead and i'm not sure if I can wait until the 10th November for the 2060 to be available with the Ryzen processor. How much worse would it be if I went for the i7 instead? It now seems to be quite a bit cheaper than the Ryzen as well. This is the latest...

The RTX2600 now says 10th November for new stock changed from 1st November. If I change the graphics card to the Intel I could order now, I would still prefer the Ryzen though.

It's strange because when I was going to order a few weeks ago it never flagged up when I pressed proceed.

I was just about to order the original spec machine I posted in this thread but the RTX 2060 is out of stock while November 1st. It is also now flagging up that the storage drive is incompatible with this machine, so I assume i'll need just the m.2 drive (or maybe two) instead?

That's pretty good, thanks for your reply.

How is this laptop now you've had it a couple of months, still as good as your review suggests? I'm thinking of buying in the near future with a very similar spec. What kind of the battery life have you been getting?

I posted a couple of weeks ago about buying a Optimus XI Pro but i'm now thinking of spending a little more on the Defiance VII, the main downside seems to be that only the i7 is available on this model but the battery life seems better. The Optimus also seems to have parts out of stock at the...

That's useful information, thanks. I think most of the PCS laptops have an internal battery unfortunately. My current laptop has an internal battery and it has been dead for years.

Can I ask how noisy is this laptop and what's the battery life like?

Thanks for your help everyone. It looks like I may have to order sooner than I thought, my current laptop has started to have problems with charging and losing power if the cable is moved. I bought a new plug from Amazon and it's still doing the same thing so it seems to be the actual laptop...

Ok thanks.

Thanks for your advice, I did wonder if 32GB was overkill and i'll maybe go for the 16GB instead. I'll definitely go for the silver warranty, I must have missed it when I went through the list. Any advice on the AMD vs i7?

Anyone?

Hello I am considering buying a laptop from PC specialist, I do a lot of gaming but it tends to be games like Football Manager, Planet Coaster, Tropico, Cities Skylines, and The Sims rather than the latest big name titles. I also have a PS4 so i'm also looking to be able to play a few Xbox one...
