[QUOTE="Vik_ki, post: 1757762, member: 392350"] Hi, I am new here and this is my first post (hope it's in the right place) I am a clothing/graphic designer and use Macs for work - adobe illustrator etc but don't really have any knowledge of operating systems and technical stuff. I've always had windows laptops at home. My husband ordered a MacBook for me the other day as a surprise as my laptop is so old and not really working. We've not long had a little girl and have just moved house so don't have the money for a new one. He ordered this on wowcher... But from what I can tell this will be unable to run a OS that is still supported by apple, I probably wouldn't be able to run illustrator and photoshop on it and we won't be able to use it with our iPhones which are up to date with the latest software. Is this correct? We can return it. Is it not worth having? There are a few deals on there. I thought this might be a better option for what we want it for - me to use for design work, using with our phones, internet and what not... To me this looks like. Much better deal for only £20 more the OS is only one version behind from what I understand. However only 3 people have purchased this deal whereas 140 people have purchased the other one. It has the most purchases of all the mac deals in there. Please can someone help. Should we stick with the first MacBook or return it for the other deal? I don't want to be at a security risk. Thanks so much for reading [/QUOTE]
