They are a premium re-seller and fully authorised by Apple anyway. Full backing a support from their engineers who are apple experts. I also got an £80 student discount. ![]() LOT (Lord of Time) - University of Gallifrey |

Doc, you don't "need" anti-virus software because it's not a mojor problem with Macs. Depends if you visit any dodgy sites on it or download unofficial stuf. Then you may be vulnerable.

Thanks. I have the anti virus installed just in case now. Aside from the style and quality of the computer itself, I love how the keyboard is back lit and the apple logo on the lid lights up when in use. As for useage, it is extremely fast. I don't think this is just down to the dual core 2.3ghz i5 processor and 8gb ram either. The shutdown is instant and I have never known that on any windows computer. With all the windows computers I have ever used there is the saving settings and logging off before shut down. It also starts up really fast and once the password is entered there is no stupid delay while it loads all the bits and pieces. Well pleased ![]() LOT (Lord of Time) - University of Gallifrey |

NP, I run exactly the same set up with my iPad2. MiFi with 32Gb Wifi model is definately the way forward. Make sure that you buy a smart cover too, they are essential to protect the screen.
