Hi all, been toying with the idea of buying a custom laptop for a while - had problems with a Sony F11Z1E I bought 18 months ago, after a long drawn out battle, I've finally received a refund of £1400. So I thought 'heck' lets do it!
Below is the spec I've chosen, I've already hit the button to buy - but I've been told I can still amend the order if needed.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers
