PCS or Samsung M2 SSD and advice

[theb52s]

I've had a laptop ordered for a couple of weeks and have paid £1320 for it. As it is still in pre production I was wondering whether to change the SSD to Samsung. The cost of making that alteration came up as an additional £76. I was going to ask for opinions on whether people thought that the additional cost was worth it.
However on looking at the specs again I found that the cost of the laptop I've already ordered has decreased.

That's just £25 more than I have paid.

So the options would be to leave the order as it is, change the SSD paying another £76, cancel the order and reorder at the cheaper price, speak to PCS to see if they could change the SSD drive but honor the cheaper price.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Mine too, the price decreased after I ordered it, but that's life
SAMSUNG is worth the £76

For a difference of £25 I would definitely do it. For £76 I'm not so sure. How much of a difference would it make?

I would give them a call and see what they can do. Even if they split the difference it's a win

I would personally pay the premium for the Samsung, at £25 it would be a no brainer of course, there won't be a great deal in real life performance to note.... but you know what you're getting with Samsung

Thanks. I might get ready to try and haggle on Monday then. There's nothing to lose. After all I could just cancel, reorder and get the cheaper price, albeit going to the bottom of the queue again.
