Thank you. I will follow your advice!

I originally posted a spec for a Cosmos IX 15.6" for my son (See https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/just-checking-this-spec-for-a-15-6-cosmos-ix-is-ok-for-casual-gaming.77112/ ). It appears the graphic card (GeForce GTX 1650) I wanted is no longer available. The one that is...

It seems there are supply problems around graphic card so I shall have to wait in hope. I don't think the 2GB GeForce MX350 will be appropriate.

Thanks for this. I can see the Graphics Card we have chosen is not up there performance wise but budget constraints dictate at the moment. All the best.

I'm doing exactly that - 500gb M2 and a 2TB SSD - it is a bit more cost possibly because it's SAMSUNG but it should be worth it.

Thanks, I understand now. I've now swapped the sizes of the drives, so the 1st Storage drive is the larger one. You were right about the browser. The correct message came up on Edge. This is the message I got on Firefox yesterday. " We note that you have selected an M.2/PCI-E SSD drive and a...

I'm pretty well ok with it but I'm a bit confused about the hard drives, since I got a message when saving the quote about where to install the operating system - on SSD or on mechanical hard drive (not recommended). As far as I can see I ordered two SSDs, and no mechanical hard drive. Now I'm...
