    (And I am also shocked and confused at the number of people who can afford to spend £2,000 on a laptop but somehow begrudge paying £100 to £250 to replace a battery or keyboard.)

    That £30 replacement keyboard above, if it's right, sounds like good value to me. Either that or repair the current one. Both will involve taking the computer apart, but what do you expect? iFixit.com

    They run group sessions for new users and will show you everything you need to get you going.

    No unfortunately . Nearest is Liverpool I think.

    emerald21 Pm me if you like, I am not an expert but have had Macs for the past 20 years. Most things can be just dragged and put where you want. So to delete photos just move the cursor onto the pic, press and hold down the bar at the bottom of the Macbook, move the pic to the bin with the touch pad. You can do several at once by moving the cursor onto each one and press cmd and bar at the same time, then when they are all highlighted move one to the bin and the rest will go as well.
    Then empty the bin by looking under finder. There are other ways but this will start you thinking the Mac (easier) way.
