And about twice as much to spend if Apple's Student Offer section of the website is anything to go by

If you're willing to spend a bit more (well I suppose quite a bit more actually), you should spring for a macbook from apple (apple.com)! I grew up as a windows user but I got a mac when I went to uni as part of a special uni deal apple had going at the time I got a free ipod touch and printer with it. Anywho, I love my mac and got used to it really fast, and it's also still running almost as perfectly as the day I got it, which was over 2 years ago.

Yea but for mac money you could probably get yourself the PC, netbook, monitor and printer in to boot + have some cash left over. Apple and value for money just dont mix.

Win7 pc = 300
Eee pc 1005 he (10h battery) = 300
22" monitor = 100
decent printer = 60
= £760

Basic macbook
= £800

Equally on the windows end you could just go for one top end gameing pc for similar money

Also, ive run windows computers alot longer than 2 years, they still run perfectly too o.0

Sysinternals lends a helping hand, but it really aint to hard as long as you avoid bogging it all down by installing crappy software left right and center, fortunately the UAC in vista / 7 has stopped developers being so quick to dump the installation files all over the drives and run pointless services etc (even though its windows who gets the blame for the annoying dialogs when they do)

I seem to find Tune-Up Utilities a useful tool to stop that Not so much a useful tool on Vista or 7, more so on XP. A good bit of software for £30 or so (maybe less, I think I paid in dollars ) Though there are Windows alternatives to what comes with it, defrag tools etc are all built into a Windows computer...

Anyway, mindless woffle.

I've ordered stuff from them many many times without a problem, they have excellent customer service and speedy delivery even on the free within 5 days option. I'm awaiting an order from them right now in fact, so i'd definatly vouch for em

[Swastika]

Do you have to pay extra for that quick delivery, because im only in my house on mondays and tuesdays?

If you use the within 5 days, then its luck of the draw within 5 day, i've had most stuff i've ordered within 1 or 2 days or ordering, but its not a guarantee. To order for a specific day it does cost a little more, but the further away the day is from when you order, the cheaper it is if i remember rightly (within a week timescale)

Ah right, thanks for your help buddy.
