I have a 4 year old mac mini (am in the print and worked on macs for years) and it is awesome, these days you could get a top spec mac mini (measurements are around 7 inches, by 7 inches, and about 2 inches tall, its really compact) for about 400 notes, and cos you got a pc anyway you can the tele off of that and your on your way.
The reason i say this is 3 fold....
A, If you really cant be without that windows thingy, macs these days have that, it opens up as an application on the mac and its totally a pc, really is a quality option
2, as i said before mine is 4 years old, bog standard but never crashes, even i watch johnny vaughen (points for anyone who guesses what that really means!)
c, takes seconds to boot up, sometimes if i have to do anything on a pc its just so long winded, with me mac or any mac i use anywhere to open up an internet connection is childs play, so quick, easy and the websites always open quick, and all this on a bog standard imagine what a 400 quid mac mini can do!
I know lots here will poo poo, but the poo pooers are prolly PC heads and just don get macs! Easy to use, easier now to buy (just go bluewater!) and they are cooler than PC's!

I'm with you MCS - Macs are just better - simple as
Ollie dude, despite working with PC's for over a decade, I'm with you... We've had a Macbook since June this year and love it. Boots up quickly, shuts down within seconds and the thing just works. Has never crashed, frozen or blue screened...
A tip too - if you're flying, buy it tax-free. Apple prices are pretty much fixed at every retailer... yet we managed to save over £100 on ours. You also dont have to take it on the flight with you - pick it up when you return - there's a Dixons pickup point just outside arrivals at Gatwick...

better yet - get one as as student - you get a good discount - all you need is an NUS number....

We carried out a system restore tonight and all is in perfect working order again.
The spyware check found no "unusual" usage, believe it or not lol.
