Unless you want to delete the first 2 pages so it's now relevant !!!!! .. well done for changing the title thou....
I will air a point of contention though with Macs... if you are familiar with Microsoft Word and Excel and purchase the Mac version... not an unreasonable decision if you own a Mac... well the Mac and PC versions are not what you could call seamlessly compatible... mostly formatting issues and Excel on the Mac is a tiny bit weird... be prepared... but you can always stroke the aluminium enclosure instead and smile

Add Asus to that as well!

MrD probably has that on the plastic blacklist.
there are certain shops I am not allowed to take any form of plastic into.. only cash 
I will say that their Mouse are a bit shit ÂĐ for 'right button' presses... I use a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse rather than an Apple one.. I think it is historically from when an Apple Mouse had only one button... mind you I am left handed

I dunno!
Hopefully there is something on the tech side that Lori & Co can look at to see if there is a prob
None of that means anything to me..cos I'm on a Mac.......I'm no computer whizz, but, if you can afford it, why would anyone ever consider anything else?

Staples, Maplin, The Range, Virgin Vie, Lush...
the list of blacklisted places just grows & grows
And when you buy ANYthing Apple, they secretly install a magnet under your skin somewhere that draws you into Apple stores for the rest of your life.
I'm not complaining, mind you. I just think you should know.

Oh yes.... and fab it is too but I still use a mouse

I can cope with the Apple Store magnet..
I just need to find a way to get one under MrD's skin too. (His magnet is tuned into Canon Camera shops)

Lush? LUSH? That is just chemical warfare between different fragrance factions!!

See... my last lappy before this, my fella, (a big Apple fan,) persuaded me to buy a Samsung because of that ^^^, the different operating system Blah, Blah, Blah and because it was ÂĢ100 cheaper...what a mistake, the bloody thing only lasted two years

Lol
An equivalently priced laptop running linux(and set up right) makes a mac look like a calculator 
My Mr. always crows that once you go Mac you can't go back, but even surrounded by a Mac industrial size desktop thing, a macbook pro thingie, an ipad and iphone I'm still slumming it on a vaio and blackberry.
