Macbooks

[The Boosh!]

Get a pro ffs.

Its like saying -"i want a clio"

And then buying an authentique instead of a dynamique

 

[Ronnie R]

Tom, don't piss on my fire

 

[Tom]

Dell.

 

[Ronnie R]

No

What do you have Tom?

 

[bunzee]

I keep getting tempted by one of these but I really should change the car first!

 

[Tom]

No

What do you have Tom?

I have a macbook.

 

[Ronnie R]

Any reason you didn't go for the Pro?

 

[Tom]

No reason at all.

 

[Ronnie R]

One Macbook Pro ordered

 

[Tom]

TBH apple will probably cancel that.

 

[Ronnie R]

Is this because I'm getting a pro?

 

[Tom]

Nope. They vet you to see if you are worthy.

 

[Ronnie R]

Stop spamming this thread it's helpful

 

[seb]

I can get a standard macbook for £750 or a macbook pro for £845

Fed up of my Dell tbh... jsut keeps going wrong and stuff keeps crashing...

Can i transfer over all my music and pictures over to the MB?

 

[Tom]

Yup its easy

 

[Needster]

Is that with discount, Seb? I can get you 15%.

 

[seb]

yeah i only get a small discount through work...

[seb]

There's a difference? :S

Pro's look more MANLY, have a backlit keyboard, SD slot and Firewire. An extra hundred notes is a little much for just for those items, I think?

D.

 

[JJ!]

Did someone say discount? I need discount!

 

[Needster]

Students get 15%, JJ.

But it needs to be accessed via an education network to get the discount. University/college, etc.

 

[JJ!]

Ahh bugger... I like students.. but I am sadly not one!

 

[Needster]

You know anyone who works for a University or College?

 

[Revels]

Now is a piss easy time to get a discount..

"Yeh, this is for my sister. She's at <uni> studying <course> but obviously I cant get her to get the discount because it's a surprise"

 

[Needster]

I doubt that'd work Revlols. Why don't you just wander into the library of a local college? That'll work. The education site just needs to detect that you're on a uni/college network.

 

[Ronnie R]

Needster it does work lol - I just did it, twice.

 

[Needster]

Wandered into Apple and pretended so that you get the discount? I'd have thought they'd want you to produce some kind of ID to say you're a student.

 

[Ronnie R]

They don't honour it instore.

I got my girlfriend to ask there friends if I could use there names.

I called Apple up.

"Hello I want to buy a Macbook Pro for my girlfriend, shes a uni student"

All he did was ask for her name & what uni.

 

[Needster]

Aaaah. I see.

 

[Mells]

Dell.

HP for me.

Substance over style for me

 

[Revels]

I can't believe you doubted me.

:dapprove:

 

[Ronnie R]

Revels is there anything worth downloading for Mac's?

There some useful software a few pages back, is there any more

Can I download torrent like I can on a PC?

 

[Revels]

Depends what you want to do really.

I've got Adium and Plex which are the main ones I use. Then Firefox and Spotify.

 

[Ronnie R]

Is Plex like Windows Media Center?

I can't wait to get it - I ordered my brother's yesterday but his hasn't been dispatched yet!, ordered mine today - so I probably won't get it till Monday

Do you use Firefox over Safari then, m8?

D.

 

[sn00p]

The webkit engine rocks, hard. Haven't used firefox in years, safari is where it's at.

Uni students can get the Macbook for £687 but it has to be purchased through their Uni server. I'd imagine the price would be the same in store if producing student id.
