If you dont want to spend too much and a laptop can tie you over for now, this is well worth a look:

Perhaps you should have read the OP before posting this nonsense...

£679 on a refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook to 'tide her over'.... :eek:

Did you not read that she has no money now and can perhaps pull together £300 to £400 in two to three months?

So from where will the £679 appear to "tide her over" when she is only going to spend perhaps £400 on the main machine anyway?
Read the OP before posting a load. Careful when you use the word loser....you might just be referring to yourself.

Zzzzzz sorry mate, you're boring me. And you can also buy it on finance so spread the cost. Considering she was looking to do that through a catalogue I don't see how this is any worse.

I'm sorry, I may have missed the finance option for the refurbished MacBook. Perhaps you can link to it for us here.

So you are suggesting that she buys a £679 laptop on finance to 'tide her over'?

Surely you must be old enough and man enough to admit when you are wrong?

No problem, it's all here:

She could buy the laptop or imac on finance and even if she sold the laptop after a year apple products keep their value unlike windows laptops, just check ebay.

Now what was that about being wrong.......

Then buy it new, over 12 months at 0% it has to be a better deal than a catalogue......

So...let me understand...you are suggesting that she spend a minimum of £849 over the course of a year, on a laptop with a 13.3" screen, in order to 'tide herself over' until she can buy a suitable machine for what she needs(seemingly now a year later).
Is this correct? That you are suggesting that instead of buying a similarly powerful Windows machine with a suitably sized monitor in two to three months, that she should instead pay £849 on a stopgap?

You really need to confirm what you are suggesting...as it seems a bit....off the wall.

I am also now pro apple after working with windows for my profession for years and also having various windows PC's you will honestly never look back if you get a mac.

Stability, lack of viruses and the fact that it just works. If you really need to run windows apps you can just install something like virtualbox and a copy of windows or dual boot the mac if necessary.

one good place to try is the apple refurb store:

http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/imac/21

these are generally macs people have purchased and then changed there mind/buyers remorse etc and are really brand new but in a non branded box with apples 1 year warranty + the option to purchase an addional two years warranty before the year is up if required.

there are some significant discounts as apple cannot sell these as new as they are preowned but they are new all but in name!

Apple and OSX is for users who want to spend their time USING their computer and not installing the latest crap driver to get the thing to work in the first place....

and dont listen to windows users with their buy a cheap wintel box advice, with apple you get a quality hardware and software solution and if you have an iphone or ipad it is all part of the same eco system.

I hear the same lame comments from windows/android phone users all of the time, the truth is if they ever actually used an apple product they would realise how much better they are.

Thanks, worth knowing. I do like the look and feel of Macs.

But I see that my thread has become a Windows v Mac war.

I have a low credit rating at the moment. I probably would give in and buy one on finance otherwise. Just very hard struggling with old laptop etc. I doubt very much I would be eligible for finance. I may be wrong but I don't want to try at the moment as I've been refused recently.

The issue is whether or not that you buy a Mac. But the dopiness of the suggestion that you spend £679 to £850 on a stopgap.

It would made a little bit of sense if they suggested that you buy a suitable Mac on finance in the first place.
Not a stopgap refurb that you can neither afford nor get via a financing option.

Are you really going to do all of your work on a 13.3" screen? Of course not. It's nonsense.

Jesus grow up! I meant stop gap or otherwise......why the constant need to rant on about it.....enjoy your pathetic windoze lifestyle!
