Gents, thank you so much for your assistance/wise words and other "geeky" support! I have completely ignored it and ordered a 486dx desktop, it was such a bargain!!
Only kidding, I explored the Dell Precision as suggested by @
Spuds and looked into Windows Pro as suggested by @
Dadhawk. @
soundman98, I checked out your suggestions too, but too "gamey" especially the MSi, interesting website..
I just couldn't get the maths to work, the machine was coming out at £3.2k, I was able to buy the XPS similar spec for £2.4k.
New laptop on its way.. I also ordered a Wacom drawing tablet.. looks interesting.
