Sorry, but I need to vent!!!! I experienced the WORST customer service today at a local store. I don't want to mention the name of the store because I'm not sure how I'm going to handle this. Last night I bought something from this store and I paid cash for it. I took it home and found out it didn't work. So today, less than 24 hours later I took it back to the same store and asked if I could get a refund. The cashier told me “NO” even though I still had the receipt. I asked if I could get a replacement instead, again she told me "NO." I asked to talk to a manager as we Karen's do..... now as I'm really not happy and I explained that I had just bought the item, had got it home and it didn't work. The manager just smiled and told me to straight to my face that I was "OUT OF LUCK." No refund. No FREE replacement. Grrrrrrrrr. I''ll tell you what...I am NEVER buying another Lottery Ticket from there again.2 points

My 27in 2017 intel iMac’s been pretty bullet proof too. Had to do a reinstall recently which was fairly easy being OS but think the Fusion H drive is on the way out. Got it all backed up so not any real prob.2 points

Nope and Nope, to old won't run the latest Mac OS and overpriced IMHO. Also that generation Macbooks won't have the battery life of a M Apple Silicon one. One of the reasons to stay away from Intel macs is the processors run hot so need a fan running which munches through the battery in 2 to 3 hours. Thats often the case with New PC laptops even now. Apple Silicon Macs will run up to 18 hours sometimes more on one charge, no fan, negates the need to carry a charger with you. Also they have much better speakers. This is a good deal. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157278537481?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D291640%2C291402%26meid%3Dcaf20adcd0004a1daf38545f84d074cd%26pid%3D101875%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D157278531467%26itm%3D157278537481%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DSimVIDwebV3WithCPCExpansionEmbeddingSearchQuerySemanticBroadMatchSingularityRecallReplaceKnnV4WithVectorDbNsOptHotPlRecallCIICentroidCoviewCPCAutoEnabledCassiniRecallCache%26brand%3DApple&_trksid=p2332490.c101875.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A157278537481caf20adcd0004a1daf38545f84d074cd|enc%3AAQAKAAABkFFq%2Fq3EDGh0yHpGYYMHul3ouffnB39iSruwTx8%2BJH9NEsRp%2BPTrrxcWMxtbVqGeID1hUP%2BoWQJ1jy%2B3PnimyU1zvH8E6ZtiOs14nVQCY9knA4bd4YwHmVAvg7I0w3jDPEgWZFuTxGPgBykA166XBmbaWOg9%2Fc8S6LzdxDn4CxI9AZ1oVZLWZKpxoL7ZxKj0IgVQ2vYYE3NJdqIDKpvVNWFNOKzebvIPQRSkPrN7UESUCTW%2FL0aBBwq9j98dxExwoqyzaDx1gldu3cJJY%2BbVaeyM%2FolTc626OWZxfNLsTZ69yASgiqQ6qNeh%2BFmyUwLK%2Fk0FZeOt2Tw8mIb94w56wi1EItvQWrHU9Rz3L876wfzLeXbm9zQbSfbSQ26f2gpZN5lD7xd5qSzJauoDmahREH7Jkc83KcjDrhBiEq4SFnY8Fxw1rf%2B0%2FHK2%2FnH8shgaT22a1bkJcILKVReC%2Bw0Oy2BUT4SXoJ5%2Bm%2BvVB9%2B%2FDg2lhaogRjh%2FVsqW5ZgPYJFdlBQxn9w4bv%2Fmu58oN2S502g%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2332490&epid=12054573521&itmmeta=01K3RVP1HRT7S1VS8QFSBBW5FE Put it in a case and you would never see the marks on it plus a guarantee. £300 to £400 would get you a decent usable M1 but obviously will be used. I looked in Currys today and they are doing brand New M4 Macbook Airs for £850 which is a good deal.1 point

Thanks for the replies. I certainly don't have enough money to buy new so I'm looking at second hand lap top at the moment .1 point

Either Macbook Air or Macbook Pro. Both very very good. Must be Apple Silicon and look for 16gb of ram. Apart from that it is just down to how much you want to spend. I bought a M1 (Apple Silicon) 16gb Macbook Air in 2020 and it hasn't missed a beat still going strong and still blisteringly quick. I think the current Macbook Airs are M4 and around £1K, not cheap but will last a long time. If you want a desktop, Mac Mini M4 is the way to go if you already have a decent monitor around £600. But you will need to buy a keyboard and mouse, not necessarily Apple. Imacs with built in monitors are great as well. All about what you want to spend. If you want to buy used just make sure you get Apple Silicon M1 through to M4. But to be honest I would buy a new one your money your choice. And if you are buying new go to Apple themselves from my personal experience it's just easyier and you will get the very latest kit. If you want me to check out anything that catches your eye send me a PM with a link. Anything with Pro after it will be better still but more money, worth it if you have a use for the power but the standard stuff is pretty good and better and longer lived than almost all PC/Intel type stuff. All of the above goes with the caveat that I am an Apple Geek and have been for a long time. I am still using a 2009 Macbook Pro regularly Oh and don't bother with intel Macs now not worth getting into, their shelf life is running out. I say that typing on and Intel Mac Mini I have had since 2018.1 point
