Ok, so I think I am ready to press the button and get this spec ordered.
I did post a spec a short while ago and Ubuysa offered some excellent advice, all of which I have taken except I have gone for a better spec GPU than advised.
My main use for this laptop is the editing of photos using Adobe Lightroom. File sizes are in the region of 100MB each nowadays. I may invest in a monitor at a later time. I won't be gaming.
I have set the partition on the SSD to 150/850. Will the 150GB be ok for OS and programs do you think, or have I gone too big?
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
PS Something has gone "wonderfully" wrong with the price on this quote. It will be nearer to £1,204.00 I suspect.
