HEY. I know there was an Omen with similar spec for cheaper at John Lewis a month ago, but that's gone now, so... Is this alright spec for the price? Says it was reduced by £101 yesterday.
Is it possible to get the screen and processor without the gaming performance for a chunk less than this? Always seems like to get these you need to pay for gaming performance that you don't necessarily want.

I'm looking for the same. Seen the screen many times, but not the full quad core processors. Seems that would be a good market to tap in to. And I can guarantee, that if 1 starts it, it'll most certainly snowball effect.
Having said that, I think I may have seen the processor, but lower results screen. But this is probably going a while back when I was looking for a laptop.

Hopefully more machines will come out with Quad Core i5 or i7 8th Generation processors.

If you would use photo editing software working with CUDA this setup would be better than one with on-board graphics
