Mine has been excellent when it's working but the hardware keeps going, I've had two hard drive cables, two chargers and the scroll wheel fixed or replaced so far in two and a half years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you take out the protection plan when you bought it? The protection plan for the Air is £200 I'm buying straight from Apple so I'm getting a years worth of warranty straight off the bat. Hopefully I don't run into any issues; I've had my current laptop for 6 years now, without any major breakages or issues. Just hope this has the same sort of longevity!

Tamdunk Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'd consider getting an apple laptop, if they weren't so overpriced. And didn't have that gimpy apple on the cover. And weren't made by apple. I'm just anti-apple, apparently they're computers are quite good though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched over from having a Samsung Phone (I had every iteration of the Galaxy smartphone until the S4) to having an iPhone 5S, and from having that it's convinced me to trust the quality of their products. I've went into the StormFront store in Dundee to play around with the MacBook laptops and they are just brilliant. Yeah, they come at a premium price but I think they may be worth it. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped my iPhone for an LG and it's such a better device and operating system at half the price. Wouldn't go back to an Apple device now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get it from the Apple store? Students can get an additional two years warranty for £48 or something, You still need to pay 5p for a bag though, and no discount on that. My last laptop was a Dell and I loved it, but I've played on my friends MacBooks before and they're just so lovely. I'd never get an iPhone though, Samsung all the way. I'd never get used to not having the back button on the bottom right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that the £200 figure for the protection plan was without student discount, so I may look to buy it in the future with the discount. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to do that but just went into the shop. I don't know if this was just a special because I bought it in-store, but it's worth finding out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 When I get paid next Friday it will be the 1st proper time I've been out my overdraught since I was 18. Been out of it before but always had things to pay straight after. Going to every Scotland away day plus 1/2 holidays a year plus weekend trips has absolutely rinsed me the past 4 year. Gonna feel amazing knowing that I'll be out of it and will have nothing needing paid for afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look anyway, thanks for the heads-up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also just starting to get out of my overdraft aswell after about 2 years of being in and out of it , it's glorious looking at your account at the end of the month and not seeing the - sign just before pay day .

Can't wait. I've been as low as -£2000 and I was still booking trips up at that point, fucking stupid. Supposed to be getting the wages up to a proper good adult amount instead of the apprentice/technician shite for the 1st time soon too. Should hopefully after a quiet year find my savings to be very healthy come December leaving me a good flat deposit pot. The thought of that is keeping me in on a Saturday night. It's gid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 You do realise Lichtie, that by putting these statements out into the universe, you're setting yourself for a massive repair bill for something in the next week or so? The doGs don't like being mocked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
