Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

If you have the time and basic knowlage and are willing to do some research for, when things go wrong then it's defo worth it. A friend of mine at work is far more technical than I am (I am already above average) has juat built his 2nd and is happy with it, but I have heard him spending hours to get issues ironed out. Bottom line is, in my opinion, it's time vs money. I don't have the time, so I chose a Mac out of a box.

I have a feeling that the time needed will be needed exactly when I don't have it.

Also, I still need a laptop for on site work, so if my current MBP dies, I'll be looking at

Hackintosh: £1000ish
Macbook air: £1100ish

Or just get a Macbook pro 13"for £1600ish and be done with it. There's talk about new processors early next year, so fingers crossed it'll live until then
