b*****d, could have collected these tonight!

Legend, thanks mate! What happens with all the data etc etc? Say for arguments sake if you're not a million miles from me, if I go down the route of getting one would you like to earn some beer money?!

Not going to go into all the details as it's not a thread about my car, more about peoples experiences in general. Jay.S. I take your point, however the exhaust system on the car is like a sieve according to my mechanic who has the car at the minute. So basically it would have been completely...

Unfortunately not no, was a bit of an idiot with it. To be honest I could have lived with it if it was just the wheels, the other bits are just getting annoying though. I know the lad and he's a member on here so to be honest I just went with the flow so to speak.

Alloys and tyres I let go as they were swapped between viewing and collecting. Was annoyed but let it slide, probably shouldn't have. The wiper blades I didn't find out until it rained after collecting. The exhaust was aftermarket when I viewed it and swapped for collection. My mechanic has had...

Are you happy with what you were told when buying your car? Was the seller honest and fair? Myself, not so much no. Wheels and tyres swapped for damaged/corroded budget items, one being pretty badly buckled. Wipers swapped over for fooked ones. Exhaust swapped over for the sale with a standard...

Very little. It hadn't moved for 3 weeks until I took it to the garage last week. Almost forgot I had it until my mechanic rang me! i think I've driven it less than anything else I've ever owned!

If it was me I'd get the 1099 Air (which I did) if you won't struggle with the 128gb limit. Or, an iPad would be good enough for the p**n she likes? Mot!, how easy is that to do? Any links?

I bought a second to top spec MBA just before Christmas brand new. Literally just sold it and bought the 2.4ghz MBP. The air is awesome, and a lot faster than the Pro. Only reason I sold it was due to 128gb not being anywhere near big enough for me personally. Ig they were upgradeable then I'd...

Nope, parallels if that makes a difference?

Just bought a new external HD that I'm going to use as backup etc. I have a MBP with windows installed. Windows has all of my work stuff on so that's more important. If I back up the whole computer through the Mac software will it automatically have my work stuff on it? I know that it needs to...

Not far from me so would definitely be in for it if the date suits.

Will give sky a call later on for a quick comparison then if I get chance.

I have to have XP for various reasons. Nothing else will work.

I'm sure we tried it on my MBA last year, but will have another go tomorrow! If it works I'll drop you a pm ;)

Tom...unsure what you mean by windows 8 RC?

How did you do that Luke?! I could only find forums saying it wasn't possible on Lion?! If you can do it for me And it does what I need I'll give you £65 (parallels price!)

Boot camp won't support XP though, not with Lion. Thats why I've gone down the parallels route. Why do they make computers so complicated?!!! Whats the difference with the SSD and a normal hard drive that affects speed? I always though processor and RAM were speed, hard drive was storage?!

Not liking that...bit beyond my ability. On parallels settings it only recommends about 1.5gb to dedicate to the virtual machine, saying anymore will slow it down? Why? I always thought bigger was better?! also has an option for 1,2,3 or 4 CPU's. Any idea what that means?!

OK no worries dude. Would love to get the 16gb, but only really need proper power for running XP, but it tells me the limit for virtual machine is 1.5gb or so. Not sure why though?!

If you could find out dude (I'm a r****d) and it fits then I'll have it mate.

That's the one! It's a 2012 13" 2.4ghz. Delivered today :)

I can't remember who people use to buy upgrade memory from? I seem to think there is a cheap place on the net that most people use? Any links?!

Just realised my insurance is due tomorrow so had to renew with Elephant for now for ease, but will be shopping about and can always cancel. Renewal for me: £691. 23 y/o male 5 NCB No points/accidents relevant 5k miles per year on social only F/C with £1k excess (high I know but don't plan on...

Decided to upgrade my MBA to a MBP at the weekend after running out of hard drive space. Desk looked a little loaded this afternoon! Need a bit of help however. I run parallels for Windows XP for CAD software and CNC programs. The MBA is 4GB with 1.7ghz i5 processor. The MBP is 4GB 2.4ghz i5...

If you're after a cheap decent ph1 then let me know. I have a 66k miles one that's a little rough round the edges but I've just replaced all the brakes and tyres. Perfect for a track project that I wanted it for but plans have changed.

It's bang on mate. Also has legal Parallels installed with XP with office 2003 etc.

Offers over £800 will be considered.

Need to sell my MAcbook Air so I can upgrade to a Pro. It's a late 2011 13" with 4GB Ram, i5 processor and 128gb SSD hard drive. In excellent condition, just a few very minor scratches etc from daily use. I bought it direct from Apple a week before Christmas. Comes complete with box, manuals...
