I am about to push the button on buying this laptop, can anyone offer advice if I'd made decent choices, anything I should consider improving, or anything I don't need and could save on? Thanks!!

Hi @Olitow - what is your budget and main uses? This is really important when trying to give advice.

Can you post the full specs you're looking at too (appreciate most of the specs are there but the whole spec, including the link, makes it easier to make adjustments and stay within your budget).

Hey @steaky360 - thanks for the reply!

Hmm, really strange, seems my configuration is no longer available, this was it..

I will be mainly playing simulation games (Farming Sim, Euro Trucker, SIMS), and I dabble in video editing.

The PC I use at work is less powerful than this spec so I'm sure it'll power my Adobe software a breeze.

Any advice also if 15" is sufficient for gaming would be appreciated as that would same some pennies.
