€1370 (buy through business so no VAT)

Is that worth the money ?
How much would it cost to build the equivalent ?

Thanks

It's an excellent price for a pre-built with a full warranty. In fact you'd barely save anything, if at all, self-building it, to be honest.

Well worth the money, some of the specs don't seem quite right, namely the 2TB SSD Hard Drive, which is later listed as just a HDD.

Honestly it all seems a bit too good to be true, maybe someone from here has dealt with them before.

Seems like a great deal, better than some of the more expensive models on offer on that site.

Something amiss?

Unless it's a plain error, LaptopsDirect are fine to deal with, but it may be a pricing or spec error. Hard to see how they could sell that spec, with a genuine Win10 license, for that price and be making money.

Pretty sure that is illegal in Ireland.

"The Prices and Charges (Tax-Inclusive Statements) Order, 1973 requires that all prices marked on goods or prices displayed or quoted at the retail level and all charges for services displayed or quoted should be tax-inclusive (e.g. VAT) except where it is intended solely for a business customer"

Theres an ontion at the top of the website to change the price so if you want to have vat excluded you click it etc.

Ahh, makes sense then. I see its set to VAT on by default.

Not sure no 1080 brand could be some nasty cheapo one which it likely is. No PS brand either or mobo brand unless i'm missing it? Maybe you could email find that out? I'd be sniffing abit at this just self build imho unless anti that.
