I would have thought the whole point of the tax free bit, would be that you'd have to buy it there and then...

It doesn't make sense for them to deliver it?

ie: If someone wanted a cheaper bottle of aftershave, they'd go to the airport rather than another shop!?

Yes they can be delivered, but usually they are more expensive anyway as the product it self will cost more, so its not worth it, especially when its places like dixons, which are just like PC World, always overpriced.

macs and macbooks are better than windows. And if you need windows xp or vista, just buy an instal disk and load boot camp

you can upgrade the HD and RAM on iMacs (and Mac Minis I assume). On Mac Pros, I believe you can upgrade everything?

Definately get a mac. When I got mine I bought the Intel Imac with a 24" screen. Its amazing its fast and has a massive HD. Things like Bluetooth are really useful and its just generally alot better than windows.

But yuh the Desktop imacs are definately the best in my opinion. Ive never been a fan of the mac books. Perfect for Tv and Video crystal clear screen its beautiful.

The only time you get problems with it is if you tamper round with the system files without knowing what your doing but even if it does go wrong you can just reboot from the discs and within a jiffy everythings fine again

Yes RAM and HD can be upgraded on the mac mini.

True but some games like World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 when it comes out, do work on mac. But most users of Apple already know its not a gaming so machine.
