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...

Do have an iPhone yes....where a bouts are the backups stored?

Thanks kids. Rasclart, according to the laptop 80GB is 'other files' which i'm assuming is a combination of Using parallels to run windows XP, then all of my CAD and design programs along side my machining tool path programs. Then there's all of my CAD files themselves, both 2D and 3D. Then...

I hate it when car dealers get the decimal point in the wrong place.

Revels, I only have about 4gb of personal stuff, the rest is all work related and needed. Chappers, all bar the Air from what I can tell, otherwise it's made bigger thus taking away the appeal.

snoop, legend thanks :D

I bought a MBA direct from Apple just before Christmas, 13" with 128gb HD. Noticed yesterday I've filled up over 120gb so I'm getting close to the limit! I know on their site they sell second hand ones, so could I px it with them against a 15" MBP? I don't want to run with an external HD, and...

Roy, Adam, not sure I know what you mean. Image below, I've gone to do program close on the top left, but sometimes if i scroll too far the parallels toolbar comes back into play, and I hit the reduce screen button or whatever; top right highlighted in blue. If there's a way I can stop that...

Is it possible to lock a program on full screen view? I use parallels to run Windows XP, but when I go to top right to close a program the odd time I click the arrows which takes it from full screen to a half window. This then screws up my organisation on the desktop as it reorders it all...

Looks bang on mate, all you need is a dark headlining I reckon to carry on a nice theme.

Depending on what operating system your Mc is, bootcamp won't work. Im on Lion on my MBA and it doesn't support XP so I ended up using parallels. It's only £60 and works really well.

I'm the same, had a DC2 type R, R26 and a 330ci and ended up back in a shitty old ph1 172! There's something about them!

Awesome, thanks dude :D

Just tried to pm you ipap. How did you turn them off, would make my CAD work a million times easier not having to use 'fn'!

bronze all the way!

Can you top up on the internet / phone too? Going to the shop would be a bit of a ball ache! Was thinking of buying a vodafone one from Asda tonight that comes with credit...so should just be plug and play?
