all input appreciated.

I need a laptop for work stuff more than anything.

I have a crappy, though only nearly a year old , toshiba laptop. Hate hate hate windoze 8 with a passion. It'll have to last another 6 months or more ( unless....sneaky.... DD2s little notebook finally dies and she can have it- it'll do her!)

I have had an old ipad since the early days and liked it a lot, though the last 6-12 months it's become obsolete and limited. Still makes a good TV though LOL.

Recent update to ipad air- and I am in lurve!! (I'm an android gal re phones but various work related functions don't work on android!).

Would I be so impressed with a mac laptop? Are they just as intuitive and "bomb proof" the way that the ipad " just works" is a huge appeal (eg air print- no set up/driver malarkey- just hit the button!).

I guess the old "you can run a net work at home with a mix of ac and PC all wanting to communicate with each other" doesn't hold water now? I use PC/ipad/android and they all used rop box/email to each other/share photos etc.

Thanks geek netters!

Nope, doesn't hold water at all any more :)

I'm typing this on a 4 year old Macbook Pro. The only issue I've ever had with it was a loose cable to the hard drive. Before this I had a MacBook and two iBooks. All faultless and still going strong.

I would never buy a PC laptop and I've been a Mac user since the early 90s so not a recent convert.

Macbook all the wayGrin
I made the switch 5 years ago and would never go back. Only one of my family is now using Windows.
It's takes a week or so to adjust but is so much less hassle!

Mac everytime for me. Do you have an iphone?

Another mac addict here. My home is nigh on the Apple store! Wouldn't even consider PC now!

it sounds like your leaning towards a mac anyways. but for me its Mac all the way. bought my first mac 4 years ago and sooo wish i'd done it sooner.

You can still get Windows 7. Ebuyer have an HP 250 with Win 7 preinstalled and Win 8 disk at £450 (£350 after cashback).

If you need another reason to go Mac - no sodding Norton Anti-virus.
