But it does have ports and storage? It specifically defaults to 6 USB-C expansion slots which can be switched to USB-A for no price increase or for a minimal price increase any other port.

It also comes with a 512GB SSD. The only thing it doesn't come with is the dedicated GPU which is an extra £400.

Yeah can't imagine that will remain a problem for too much longer if they continue to sell out like this

1. Have you looked at other laptops elsewhere? They are a very comparable price. This is the going rate for a laptop of that spec.
2. Unproven upgradability? They are quite literally the ONLY laptop manufacturer to have provided ANY upgradability in the last 5 years. Why are you concerned about them letting you upgrade in 5 years when no one else lets you upgrade even next year?
