So after using a PC since I could crawl I'm thinking of going down the Mac route...
I work in IT and buy Mac and PC equipment everyday, The Mac stuff does seem very good quality and I never hear of anyone swapping and then going back to a PC.
I currently have an Apple iphone, first the 4 now the 4s and have to say the more I use it and the things it does so easily the more I apprciate it.
My wife has had a Mac Book White for 4 yrs and recently we upgraded to a Mac Pro, she loves it.
I'm thinking of this spec.. I like the idea of a SSD as I want to store all my big files etc on a NAS we can both share. The SSD with 8 GB ram and an i7 should be pretty swift?
I would normally just buy the mac as it is and upgrade the SSD from scan or somewhere and the RAM from crucial but for ease of it working out of the box and warranty keeping it with Apple probably best.
This is the spec I have decided on...
15-inch MacBook Pro

The non reflective screen is a bit of a luxury (as is the mac really) as its £100 or so, but given this should last easiliy 4 years its not too bad?
To upgrade to the 2.6Ghz its another £150... its at what point do you stop ticking the extras.
If I wait until summer it also comes with Mountain Lion so the latest OS also. I do think at first it WILL probably annoy me...any one else swapped...
I can see that soon there will be at least 1 if not 2 iPads in the A210 house, so we are being sucked in on by the Apple wave..
