After thinking what laptop to buy for over a year I kept falling back on the idea of buying mac!
I had wireless set up and off I went to buy a laptop. I fell in love with the macbook very sexy and simple (bit like myself)! I'm not here to bore you with specs (you know what you need you just want to know how well it performs).
I opted for the 13" as its smaller and cheaper £699! Its a very competant little machine that can do everything you want it too, its wifi is very good and stable. Its amazingly simple to use far less complicated than windows! I love the two fingers on the mouse pad to scroll down pages, also the quality of the display and the way it works out when you mistype (somehow apple have made it work out sausage finger typing and it doesn,t put that letter in).
The operating system is fast at booting up, did I mention how sexy it looks!! the battery lasts for around five hours and takes around 2hrs to charge. The one thing that takes a little getting used to is the minimise close & expand are on the opposite side.
So if your thinking of buying a laptop have a good look at an apple I'm glad I did!!
