I am getting a stolen laptop and desktop replaced from powerplay. The desktop was custom made and laptop was dell.
Do they just match the specs, or match the price you bought it for?
Also, is it likely that they will give you a pc with lower specs than you had?
The dell is about 5 years old and the pc is about 4 years old.
Help would be much appreciated!!

Largely depends on the insurer but to my mind, reinstatement (being put back in the same position you were in before) should work like this.
For the Dell laptop, the IT specialists should know what market position that machine had 5 years ago, e.g. budget, high end, business or gaming. The replacement should be the modern equivalent.
Otherwise you would end up with the cheapest possible laptop because that would match or better the specs of any 5 year old laptop I believe.0
