Thanks for all your thoughts and ideas.

I think Zero is right. Sourcing a good battery is going to be difficult though.

It beats current £1500 laptops by some degree graphics wise and is is just little slower than many laptop i7 chips and having seen some new non-gaming i7 chips, it blows them out of the water!

For example many £1500 laptops come with an RTX 3050 graphics card. My 5 year old laptop's 1070 card is at least 30% faster (all other things being equal).

I think I would need to spend at least £2500 on something spectacular and don't have the budget or more appropriately, the need or case for that at the moment.
