No it was probably an older version. I didn't even get to look at it properly...didn't want to go to inspect it and then police tap me on my shoulder... ...not that they can do much round here trotting along on their horses.

He said £70 first but I kept telling him I only had £10 on me and that that was all I was prepared to spend on a laptop I couldn't try out before buying...he reduced it to £20 but wouldn't accept £10 for it...

I did think about the unfortunate owner, but NOW I'm a little jealous thinking someone else out there is going to have a Macbook Pro for next to nothing!

What are you all talking about?

new laptops apple released that have a 10 hour battery life

I would suggest to get a 64gb ssd for the OS, programs, games. More than enough. 512gb is just to extreme :S

64Gb does not seem enough for a lptop. i dont use much but way more then 64Gb.. not that i would want to pay an extra 1,200 for 512gb.. which is more then the laptop would cost me

SSD drives are really good in laptops almost instant booting and opening of applications MUCH better than a regular HDD. The latest Vaios have 4 x Samsung SSD in a striped RAID configuration and the OS loads faster than the BIOS!!


NEVER buy a macbook with any more than the smallest drive and RAM. Both drives and memory are available, (same or better spec), and it is easy to change yourself + you have the old ones if you need it to go back for a warranty repair or to sell.

The memory IS a user update-able part and there are official Apple instructions to replace it on their website... HDD happens to be accessible when you are doing it:)

I have personally done this and saved loads, only thing I recommend is getting some of the sticky stuff they put in the screw holes to ensure the screws stay fixed as within 6 months I had lost a screw from the bottom but for £2 Apple sold me a pack of screws and a tube of the stuff that stops them coming loose.
