    PCSPECIALIST I'm in a bit of a sticky situation.....

    I recently ordered an Octane II pro with a fairly high end spec (6700k, 16GB RAM, NVme M2 drive, etc) but I've recently been notified that the chassis won't be in stock till after the 24th of June, pretty much guaranteeing that the laptop won't be delivered until July.

    PCSPECIALIST New member - It's been a trek!

    Not quite an owner yet but hoping to be over the next week or so. I've had a bit of a journey buying my first PROPER performance laptop so I'm hoping to have a happy ending.
