Hi there!

While I work on your question, how computers do you want in this list roughly?

Kind regards,
errol-ga

I hope this helps!
Kind regards,

This is a classic case where, thanks to you, I was able to "do two
things at once"! I have ordered, received and dispatched the Satellite
Pros to my client and we've all come out smiling. Excellent. Thank
you.

Thankyou for your generosity Oraccomp!
It was a pleasure to research this for you.
