Once you go Mac, you never go back. Apparently.

What Air did you get?

sorry christopher its not the new version of the air unfortunately as simply i dont have the money so picked up a second hand mint one off ebay, its the 1.6ghz 80gb version, more than enough for what i need for uni and on the move

How much did you pick it up for if you don't mind me asking? I really need one tbh.

£600 and thats with it fully just had £550 spent on it with new battery, case keyboard, basically a full rebuild and refurb. Full 3 year warranty and superdrive etc and snow leopard 10.6.

Hope that helps, big money for a 3 year old laptop still though

Still a nifty bit of kit.

I love the Airs.

Gutted. Expected this

Got this

I'd really like to get a mac, just for the awesome design and simplicity. Seems a bit overkill for browsing spankwire etc.

A basic MacBook Pro would last you years, never get slow and make you look like a browsing hero.

By 'overkill' you mean 'probably needs to be i7'

Surely?

Maybe. My laptop cost <£400 though. Has a screen big enough to make the tittie's look real. And I don't get upset when I spill drink's on it.

As I just said to Revels in a PM regarding Gally, I would give up one of my MBPs for NI. That's how awesome they are.

Only one, mind.

EDIT: My edit made that make no sense.
