Google.co.uk:
"Apple Macs <insert country name here>"

Usually does the trick for me;).

I would get one tbh. If I ever buy a laptop to go alongside the custom PC I just bought I would.

Macs are nice, expensive, but nice. The specs on the cheaper ones are not great, and I would say get a different mouse if you get a mac, as the mighty mouse is complete crap :P

Depends if you want to fork out about £1200 for a decent one :)

Cheapest is the mac mini or laptop is the 13inch macbook, which I have.

Should you get one? I suppose it comes down to whether you feel comfortable with using them, and forking out the cash for it.

Yeah, I like my MacBook Aluminium (13") for £670. Not a massive fan of OS X tbh, but it does.

Same, to me, it seems more "classic" Apple, I wanted a MacBook for years and then they bought out the Alu ones, the White one was more satisfying to get :P lol.

Portability is ruined if you get a huge one like that IMO :P

Yes. If you get a laptop get a fairly small one. If you want a big screen get a desktop. The whole point of a laptop is to take it with you to places. If it's never going to move get a desktop.
