[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 6983793, member: 718"] If you can stretch to £850 you will get a [U]quality[/U] Lenovo Legion5i. Add an additional 7200rpm 1TB hard drive, if you think the extra storage is necessary above the standard SSD, for £55. Or you could increase the size of the standard SSD or add a second SSD, all available at extra cost from the Lenovo website. It will be good for many years use and even if you just get the basic machine now, it will be easy to add an extra SSD and RAM in future. Just as an aside I fired up my 2002 Toshiba 17" laptop today for the first time in some years, possibly in ten years. Very disappointed to find that four or five keys no longer function, even after removing the key caps to clean and the whole keyboard to clean and reset the ribbon cable. Would not be an issue normally, because I only want to check the contents, but I have set a password for myself and the number 0 key doesn't work and is part of my password. :banghead: [B]So unless you need the security, do not password protect the launch into Windows.[/B] There is a way around it apparently, using a program downloaded to another machine and transferred to a USB stick. May do it some day. [/QUOTE]
