The base £1700 price (and that's with no ports or hard drive! So more like 2k) is about £800 from HP.

You're paying for upgradeability. If you can't upgrade, you're wasting the money.

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.
