Thats interesting .... So cheaper than i had expected ..... How come quite alot of Secondhand ones are near to £1000 ? Is it because they retain their value so well ? There is one locally to me a late 2012 and wants £999 .... SSD seems to be the expensive thing nowadays , is is worth the extra ? I am not going to be doing anything taxing or complicated on it . To some degree its mainly for storing and viewing photos , music , the odd document spreadsheet etc and storing all my older stuff. The reason i am now looking for a new laptop is that i am running out of space on my Hard drive and want to future proof the capacity . I may store stuff separately on wifi linked storage system , so perhaps don't need such a high HD , but 1tb seems to be a minimum imho . My 320gb hd is nearly full .
Also as we only view photos on a computer nowadays i am thinking larger screen than smaller.... At least the 15" or 17" ? This adds to the cost quite alot ...I did one of those price up your laptop on Apple and it was coming out near to £2k but then i generally opt for the highest quality or size . I think i may spend some time in the Apple store .... Going to Edinburgh today , hence up at this hour !
