Do they do silver warranty on laptops? For the extra £5 it's worth it.

Yeah they do, I'll add that on. Is everything else alright? I'm hoping it'll let me play future games (over the next three, four years) at at least medium graphics.

Your GPU is great, it should be fine (I think). Your processor might struggle as more applications need multiple cores but it has great performance per core, so it's definitely fine.
Just as a warning.... Disable nVidia streaming service.
It was using 40% of my i5-3230m >.<

Thanks a lot, and I'll be sure to disable the streaming service! :) I've repped you.

I've heard bad things about the Intel WiFi card having constant connection problems. Apparently its only a. Couple of quid to upgrade it from intel, so its definitely worth thinking about.

Thanks for that, I think I'll upgrade to a better card seeing as I plan to use the Cosmos for a while. I've repped you.
