Laptops

[Rob74]

I've got a second hand 2010 MacBook it's nothing special but at less than £300 including ram upgrade, with no worries over viruses and smoother running than any windows laptop I've used.

 

Might be worth looking on eBay

Have a MacBook Pro which I'm still struggling to learn how to use. Incredibly fast but if you've spent all you're life on a windows PC it might be a big learning curve.

Also just bought a second hand desk top. It was a gaming rig and has everything I need and more for not much more than one of the all in ones currently on the shop floor with much lower spec. Might be worth looking at a refurbished gaming laptop as they are often higher spec than run of the mill lap tops for around the same price.

I can't understand this obsession with speed?

My wrist can only go so fast.

Depends what you want to do with it. For me, with processing of photos, I need fast, lots of storage, and able to do multiple tasks at once. For that I needed a SSD, decent RAM, good processor and a half decent graphics card. All of that adds up to fast. Fast boot up, fast processing and able to have several things going on at any one time without any slow down.

Indeed, you can never have too much power or ram for photos, I would have a poke around the tinterwebs for tips on Macs, its different but in a nice way although I can understand some learning curve from Windows

 

Switching To Mac - Once you go Mac, you never go back for example

Also need to be thinking about future proofing. No point buying something basic that's so slow it drives you nuts in a year or two's time.
