Detailed review
At any time, in the world, someone, somewhere, is fighting the eternal fight... Mac vs PC. It's a sacred battle - the proving ground of burgeoning gadget freaks everywhere. We pick our sides, and we stick to them.

Veterans of the war, saddened by the countless time and threads wasted by such a trivial topic, will, of course, notice the same attacks being used again and again, for shame, on both sides. The worst one, of course, is the 'you can't do X on your stupid machine', which is shamefully used by both sides, but mostly the artillery of the Mac hater. Shameful, because it's 2009. Get with the program, people. Are you living in the past!?

I've had this machine since the day they first started being delivered by joybringers (or, UPS guys) the world over. Six months later, it still feels like the shiniest of new toys (except the trackpad won't click, thank you, toddler of mine), and I have yet to find something that I can't do with it. There is no game it cannot play, no document it cannot open (not that people do anymore, it's not 2002), no, um, site it can't view (?!).


I can't see myself upgrading this for a long, long time, until it fails to do something I wish. I'm just about to start Uni - it might be a beast, but it is coming EVERYWHERE with me :D

Tell you something though. It's not great at playing TheSims 3, for a £2,400 machine. You'd think I'd be able to whack up the specs after shelling out that much, but oh no. Stupid bad PC port. Sigh.
