Very nice spec. I know you'll be delighted with it when you get it.

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

Not bad, although with all that power how come you didn't opt for a Blu Ray drive, and maybe a larger screen?

I did think about the larger screen but I do travel a lot so went for the 15". As for bluray, I tend to stream more than discs so not really needed .

I got my dispatch notice today!
