[QUOTE="twodoorgaz555, post: 1321676, member: 221817"] Wow - thank you for such quick replies :) Yes - definately second hand. I have looked at the apple refurbs (I think thats probably the direction I'll go in next year when needs are more clear and when finances are a little more flexible). SOrry if I was a little confusing in what I'm looking for - I need performance to be at least the same as the PC I have now - saying anything extra would be a waste was an odd way of phrasing it, what I mean is that i wouldn't want to pay for extra performance above and beyond the toshiba just at the moment (but if it came for free then that would be great :) ) No iBook definately narrows it down a bit - as I understand it the earliest Macbooks came out in 2006 so am I right in thinking that any Macbook or Macbook pro from v1.1 onwards would outperform my exiting laptop? If that is the case then I can just find the best deal I can. I'll definately be looking on eBay or similar. In terms of budget, I'd like to spend the minimum amount possible as this will only be a temporary computer - they seem to be starting at about £300, buy-it-now on eBay (obviously there may be opportunities to get them cheaper thru auctions) - [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Apple-Laptops-/141177/i.html?Product%2520Family=MacBook%7CMacBook%2520Air%7CMacBook%2520Pro&LH_BIN=1&LH_PrefLoc=1&_nkw=macbook%20-spare%20-repair%20-spares&_dmpt=UK_Computing_Apple_Laptops_ET&_fln=1&_sop=15&_ssov=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udlo=279&_udhi="]this [/URL]is a link to the search results after I filtered out all the spares-or-repairs. Refurbished units seem to start at £500 which feels a bit much for one refurbished by an unknown company - may be better to buy a used one for £300.
