Hello everyone, my MacBook arrived at work this morning and haven't been off since i got in this evening.

Love it to bits but still getting used to it after always working on Windows previously.

I got the early 2009 2.0 Ghz model refurbished for £579 from Apple themselves and I intend to take it up to 4 gig of Ram and 500 gig hard drive.

I decided to make the switch after having the iPhone 3G for the last 2 months and because I cannot face buying another PC with Vista on haha!

I look forward to becoming an active forum member on here and have already discovered lots by reading previous threads etc.

Cheers guys, it still all feels very odd but slowly getting used to it.

Anyone know the best place to source a 500 gig 7200rpm hard drive in the UK?

I have seen the 4 gig memory kit from Crucial for around £40, does this sound about right?

Thanks

Hi I bought both my 4GB crucial memory kit and a 320GB 7200rpm Western digital scorpio drive of amazon.co.uk just search around they both came the very next day and they were the cheapest prices i could find. Other places to look would be scan systems which is a great website.
