ive got a macbook pro, its cost £1300 and its honestly the best computer i've owned, you get what you pay for back in support and lack of hassle.


even if i did only buy it for the looks  :laugh:

Hmm... i think I am swaying towards the dell xps 15z i7 with SSD for virtually the same price on the Dell site. Although have seen a few factory refurbs going for £999!! which is approx £450 off list price  :undecided:

They seem to be exactly the same as the mac books in terms of looks etc... just more powerful/ quicker with the ssd.  :nerd:

Yeah not the cheapest! Mines a 120GB OCZ Agility 3 for £115, got OS and programs on it and everything boots and runs a lot quicker! Is a very noticeable increase in performance!

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
