Or buy something with Chrome OS and use all the money you'll save for something more interesting
Cheers for the advice guys. Plenty to think about. I was just about ready to part with some hard earned cash, but I might head on down to the Apple to store and have a look at some of these bad boys in the flesh.

AE; it seems you really want to be nudged towards a Mac - they are sexy no doubt and I know people (actors) who have opted for them for that reason but for the life of them do not know how to use one (they keep calling me for help). I studied film and art at uni many moons ago and the Mac desktop was perfect. I bought a Vaio (FW series) a while back because it was the first full 1080p Windows laptop. Needless to say I am typing away on it now and even though I want an ultrabook - I can't see why I need to. The build of the first series wasn't great but the performance is great. I've improved on RAM and HD AND I can now but a very good quality 500gb SSD for aprox £150. The battery is now sh1te but I use it as a desktop replacement so not probs.
The advice in this thread is great; what do you actually need it for is the most important question.
I prefer an Apple phone to give perspective - purely because Android tires me out when it comes to the phone (I'm holding out for the iPhone 6 even though I know the new HTC One is awesome).
That is fairly accurate tbh. I'm looking for justification for dropping a grand on a laptop when I have one already. I think I might wait a bit and get some use out of my current one. With a bit of luck the prices of MacAir might come down in the mean time.

Latest macbook air (base model ) 2013 for just under £700. I think it's probably a us model but don't let that worry you. I got one from hong kong for £650 and it works great!
Get a Mac, then come back to this thread in a couple of months and laugh at yourself for even considering something else.

I have an iMac running Windows 7 and OSx (dual boot). Best of both worlds and Windows 7 runs a dream on it too.
