    In Argos you can get them on hire purchase so like I think you pay 100 up front then you pay instalments every month! That's what I did for my laptop, pretty sure they have macs!

    hire purchase works out a good bit more expensive though

    home ec knowledge comes in handy sometimes

    Would you go secondhand? If there's a CEX near you might get a good deal, and there's a 12 month warranty

    ie.webuy.com/product.php?sku=SLAPAPPMBA52I518A €825 there :P

    The only reason to buy a mac is to look like a complete pretentious knob.

    I'd usually be the first one to say that (ask randy) but I can understand why sound producers would want one. There are some Mac only software for that.

    But otherwise, yeah :P

    The only thing is that with a mac you can run a windows emulator on it, the retina display is pretty awesome too, but hp is still the best

    My HP g62 gas served me well, and long may it continue! Obviously a home made one would be the best but hp is a good off the shelf cheap option. My next laptop shall have an i7 anyway! Dare I say it, but im still running a Pentium....

    That doesn't really bother me much, if it was stolen though I'd like to think those ads would be removed immediately :p
    again, hp don't have the software I need
