    Thanks for the info. I picked up the last 1.66 from Toys R Us in Coventry. Only problem is that it keeps freezing every five minutes with a "Kernel Panic" :eek:. I've got a PPC one and virtually never had a problem.

    Unless you've already installed Vista on it, that's not supposed to happen - use the warranty and give Apple a call...

    I've just bought a macbook from York for £399. I was wondering what spec where the ones at £379 as I seem to have paid more. Mine is a 1.83ghz, 512mb ram with 60gb hard drive.

    Right, after much ringing around today I can report the following on Midlands and surrounding stores-

    Birmingham Merry Hill- No stock
    Birmingham Oldbury- No stock
    Coventry- No stock (as already mentioned above)
    Northampton- Nobody answered phone after about 10 attempts (good luck if you can get through!)
    Gloucester- No stock
    Stoke- No stock
    Swindon- No stock

    Oxford- Have 1 17" Imac left- 1.8Ghz, 512MB, 40Gig hard drive- white £399 standard keyboard and mouse
    Solihull- Same as above (1 left also).

    Leicester no longer have any stock either as I have treated myself to a macbook AND imac!

    Macbook spec is the same as normals- 1.83Ghz, 512mb ram, 60Gig Hard Drive
    fully boxed with software and remote- £399
    Imac spec is better than those in Oxford and Solihull- 1.83Ghz, 512mb ram but 160Gig (!) Hard drive. Also fully boxed with Mighty Mouse, keyboard, remote control and ILife software. White model- £399

    Got them to knock £40 off as i bought both so effectively £379 each and Iworks software for £14.99. I'm like a kid at Christmas tonight!!
  • trl002 u were wrong about brent cross being sold out!

    I popped in there today to get a present for my little girl and noticed that they had a wireless keybourd on display, so I asked at the counter and walked out with

    mac mini 1.66 = £199.90 ( definitely last one )
    airport express = 19.99 ( definitely last one )
    wireless mouse ( old type) 9.99 ( definitely last one )
    wireless keyboard = 24.99 ( two left )
    .mac = 14.99 ( other software still left iworks06 and ilife06
    big cheesy grin = priceless
