https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-012-OE&groupid=959&catid=1828&subcat= has my approval. Chuck in a HDD.

I like the configuration, but the price seems a bit steep for the cpu, lack of OS license & paltry SSD. (though the +£50 Crucial V4 256GB SSD upgrade is excellent value).

I'd also be hesitant to deal with overclockers; not heard great things about their after sales support.
On the other hand I've had excellent service from novatech; for me they replaced a faulty 8800GTX (1 month out of warranty) with a GTX260 completely free of charge!

Try www.computerplanet.co.uk

Perhaps I'm missing something, but that site seems to be custom desktops only?
The OP is after a laptop.

I've heard fantastic things about them. Guess we'll see later today as my friend gets his MSI Lightning 7970.
