My ultimate MS Word laptop is finally here! - Ionico 15 w/RTX 3080 UNBOXED

It's been a long wait but well worth it! I placed the order on 20/6 and amended the order 3 days later (to change the mouse from Razer to Corsair and dropped the Anti-virus software). See the Production dates below:

Why I purchase:


I needed an upgrade and I went ALL OUT with PCS! My primary use for this laptop is MS Word and PDF, and occasional gaming with some AAA titles like MS Flight Sim 2020 and very soon the new Battlefield!

What I like:

I used the top-spec MacBook Pro for work before and this laptop beats it! (100% bias here). Very well built and I love how slim it is. What I like the most on this laptop is the profile quick switch button beside the power button - Office mode with quiet fans for meeting clients and attending Court hearings; Gaming and Turbo mode for everything else - Work hard and play harder!

Also - Really appreciate all the great advice I got from this forum! That's why I choose PCS, not just the products but the community!

What I don't like:

I will let you guys know when that happens!
