Apple MacBooks and MBP

[Gally]

Thanks mate. I remember seeing the advert for the air and was thinking that is freeking mint.

Can touch backlit keyboards and alu unibodies tho!

Shall see what I can do discount wise.

The Air's awesome.

I'd have one, but only alongside my other Macs. It'd never work as your only device.

13" is fine for day to day.

I only notice mines small when I stick it on my desk next to my 22" shitty thing.

I saw them all lined up yesterday and the 17" is a monster. Looks awesome though. But I need 27" in my life. I really do.

We really need to start rocking multi session ichat video chat soon too guys.

I want to be really apple.

 

[Munson]

17" FTW.

 

[Christopher]

LOL.

Deal.

 

[Jay.]

I got a base spec 13" pro yesterday. With iWork, and Apple Care it came to £1050 ish? Got my sisters boyfriend to use his student discount and got 13% off!

 

[Mwindow]

A well-specced 15" Pro would sort you out. Same as mine. Mine's a late 2009 Unibody.

My price of £1600 was after the discount. It's a £2k device.

What do you class as a 'decent spec' 15" Pro and what is wrong the 'base' 15" Pro?

I'm looking to get a 15" Pro and aren't sure what spec to go for?

cheers,
Matt

p.s. how many Macs and Apple devices have you got?

 

[Christopher]

Lots. lol. Too much.

I've just sold my white 3G on here, tonight actually.

That's going towards an LED Cinema Screen for my MBP. I have a 27" iMac for office use and find using the MBP a little hard, when coming off the desktop.

My MBP is bumped up a little from stock, since I need the extra power for graphic design/web/video/manipulation etc.

2.8Ghz.
8GB RAM
500GB HDD @ 7200
Two graphics card model.
I bought a 1TB Time Capsule, iWork and AppleCare with the package too. Got a great deal.

The only reason I didn't go for a 17" is because that spec in 17" is well over £2.5k. I got mine for ~£1.6k, with my student discount. Only slightly more than the normal price of a 15", and considerably cheaper than the base 17".

The 17" doesn't come with an SD slot either. Which would be annoying for me. It comes with an ExpressCard slot.

I hope you put an extra tenner on, Chris, simply because your awesomeness has touched/used it?

 

[Christopher]

I added some marks to the case, if that counts?

Fair price, IMO. The guy got a good deal.

9 minute sale, record TBH.

 

[Christopher]

Rebecca, you need some Mac in your life.

 

[The Boosh!]

Chris why can yours have 8gb Ram. I'm pretty sure that mine can only have 4gb max

 

[Christopher]

Summer '09 model revision dude.

Yours has the removable battery/HDD, right?

Even the 13" MBP is expandable up to 8GB, on late '09 models. Madness.

 

[Needster]

Rebecca, you need some Mac in your life.

Knows!!

I'd rock a cheeky little 13". It'd suit my needs, but it requires more than a glowing keyboard to justify the pennies when I'm supposed to be saving. :dapprove:

 

[Revels]

Just think how much you'd save by staying in because you had a nice shiny MBP to play with.

The 'welcome' screen makes my pants dance.

 

[Christopher]

Dan will sell you his. He's manning up soon and buying a 27" and an iPad.

 

[Revels]

Nope. I'm having one of everything (muuuhhhaaahhhaa)

 

[Christopher]

LOL.

I really want an iPad, like you said.

Don't even remotely need one. I didn't really need a larger iMac. lol

 

[Revels]

In Cupertino, the words 'want' and 'need' are combined.

 

[Christopher]

LOL.

this. we should do this. would be LULZ

 

[DB.]

Want an LED Cinema Display now.

That or Coilovers. Hmmmm

 

[andywright182]

I really want a mac but can only afford a 13" base model and cant justify spending so much on it

 

[Moz168]

Waiting on my insurance vouchers to come through and gunna go get a macbook pro next week I think.

Now whats the deal with the mac accounts? You have to pay a monthly fee right? and whats the pros and cons?

Its worth it mate. Trust me.

You could always buy the LED Cinema display screen next year and use it as a fixed base computer at home then, with the option of unplugging it so its back to a laptop.

 

[andywright182]

will they be releasing a new one this summer though after the mac conference?

 

[andywright182]

where is the cheapest place to buy the new macbook pro?
