So I’m thinking about buying a Mac… But because they are expensive I don’t want to waste my money.

I am thinking about spending around £1000, and its either the iMac or Mac Book Pro. Currently using Dell Inspiron N5030 (laptop.) but don’t take it anywhere. So I am going towards a iMac.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. What Mac are you using or PC.

Thank you.

I would go for iMac or MacBook Pro. But when we are speaking of a laptop or desktop computer, that would be ur choice :D

Save up an extra £500 mate and get the 15” MBP .

The power of an iMac, the portability of an iPad.

Mine has never let me down (I have two now whoops…)

Amazingly robust for how light and thin it is.

Also, being in the UK mate, go get a uni student to buy it for you. I got 17% off with my mates uni ID. That’s like £255!

Oh, and in regards to not taking it anywhere… I don’t take my MBP many places. But, I found that it’s rather hard to do my design work whilst sat on the couch watching TV with an iMac on my lap…

:P
