I just found this laptop for around £790 at the current exchange rate which is just a bit more than some i7-1165G7 + Intel Iris XE equipped laptops I was interested in. Also beats PCS setups I looked at pricewise. So basically now I'm just hoping there is nothing I'm missing here, especially as the original price (£935-ish) was not too high.
Can someone more competent than me have a look and check everything is in order here regarding the spec please?

I know it's more than enough for FM but suppose it would also let my son play most of fairly recent titles. So if all is fine I'm ready to take the plunge.
One thing I'm not sure, although not a deal breaker I guess, is having just one SSD drive as IIRC it's better to have one smaller for Windows install and one larger for data storage and app installs - please correct me if I'm wrong or if it's not that important after all.
I was initially reserved about the brand since my old MSI laptop had poor battery life but from what I read they seem to have improved in this regard.
The store is legit, I bought a PC from them in the past.
Just to say thank you for your input @kevhamster Picked up the laptop two weeks ago and didn't have much time to play since but from the started save can already say that the FM flies like a bullet on it. Instead of ages of waiting for processing now a season goes much faster with many more leagues selected than on my old machine with just a few main leagues. I had never been sacked so quickly haha
