Hi,
I haven't bought a new laptop in years, and would dearly like a new desktop replacement. I'd love the opinions of you anandtech geniuses to sanity check my thoughts so far...
What really peaks my interest is having an SSD for fast startup and a hard drive for data, but very few official suppliers seem to stock this configuration. Have I misread the situation? Is this not a good idea?
Aside from that, I do a lot of development, and games, so I need a fairly hefty graphics card, memory and so forth...
This is a system I specced out on http://www.kobaltcomputers.co.uk/
Chassis - :: Kobalt G170 17.3"
It comes out at £1,316.50, not including VAT. Does this sound right? Do the components look ok?
Many thanks in advance!
