Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

thats much nicer than anything the disability people will have sent me...

If that fails, I have one of these kicking about somewhere

Cake how much would you want for such a lovely device?

Next stop ordering a nice big monitor, this is what I have planned;

Will run on full resolution with my macbook as well. Working on excel will no longer be a pain in the ass with a 23" monitor!

you would think, I've got two 24's and some stuff is still a pain in the ass

I should imagine using a 23 for excel/ watching some films will be more than enough. I can't use excel on the 13inch screen which comes with the macbook, hence the reason for getting a 23.

Why is that proprietary?
It's just a fancy looking standard USB stick which ships with the new MacBook Air with the OS on it as a backup.

Wow! Memory stick and a necklace. I love Apple, me.

Yep, people have been making those styles of usbs for ages haven't they?

Huh, new MacBook Air, well I never.

Liked the 11" one, dislike the price (as usual).

I have the credit card at the ready. Will probably pick up the 11" on Saturday.

Where's the USB plug?

This metal bit..

Where's the USB plug?

Can't tell if you are being serious or not so: It's not necessary... Kingston and others have made them like this for years:

Yes I am serious. I've only ever seen the normal ones and those really small ones for notebook mice.
It's been a while since I last bought a usb stick but not that long..

Why do they make them fat at the other end - defeats the purpose, no?

Fair enough.

No idea why the one above is fat at one end. It does defeat the purpose a little bit. Don't think Apple are that daft though.

i was indifferent to the macbook air until i picked one up. very sturdy and not flimsy yet unbelievably thin. they are a very desirable object
even with the vat off and discount they are still £800. as much as i would like one for traveling/vanity purchase i'll stick with my macbookpro.

Have they also done a new mac mini? When I've just visited the website it was telling me all about the new mac mini, but I can't notice any differences?

They refreshed the mini back in June i think...

it was updated in june. they are smaller in size now than the previous version

I have that for the mouse, brilliant stuff, no need to take it out of the laptop.

I just realised the wireless mice I bought use this shell-free setup ^. I don't use those mice any more though. They were shit.

I need a student discount, so I can afford supped up 27" iMac.

Does it work with college students? I could give my MacBook to my stepdaughter and get the iMac on her. Or you need to be an uni student?

I just ordered a macbook and the guy on the phone asked if I was a student and what I was studying, but that was it. I even lied about my course (said computer engineering) so he wouldn't talk to me like an idiot and they didn't even check that I am actually a student at my uni. Saved a couple hundred off a macbook and about £500 off a £1600 macbook pro.

Wow, all you had to do was commit fraud. Bargain.
