Now awaiting dispatch.
So the £60 extra got it built/tested and dispatched in less than 48 hours. I should have done it at the start.
Never mind, but definitely worth doing if you are in a rush. Doesn't feel morally right though!
To answer my own question, I paid for the express build yesterday. It is now in building as of this morning.
I'd assume this means that they do have stock, just not a lot of it and a lot of orders.
Hopefully have it by the end of the week or early next week if testing goes ok etc.
Really useful thread, i ordered an Ionico 15" with 3070 card.
Got the first delayed email because of chinese new year and nvidia cards and now another two weeks added on which will take working days up towards 26 by the time it's allegedly ready.
Are you saying if you can upgrade the build...
