As a mac user I'm rather disappointed that from now on we can't change a laptop configuration anymore. What you buy is what you're stuck with, no upgrading or changing.

Just deleted a scam, be warned it is an every day thing!
Posing as the ANZ bank international money changing site it is a fraud
It came with another, offer to change my money both are frauds
reported both but it is hard for authority's to track
be careful

individual Very few laptops can be modified easily because of there physical size which also means lack of expansion slots if any as well as power supply requirements, bigger hard drive or overclocking are usually all you can do with them.

Before you buy a computer work out exactly what you want to do with it and for what purpose you want it.

That's why I stayed away from Mac's from the start. Every time you had to upgrade your Mac you had to buy all new programmes as well.

Nah, went strait to intel & stayed there. I find Mac's very complicated to use.

Jayb,

My youngest son, who is an IT wizard, gave me a Mac laptop as a present a few years ago, I passed it on to the wife after giving it a fair trial; I found the thing irritating to use, especially as I could not convert it to a Dvorak keyboard except by sticking paper overlays on the keys.

Try Linux, you do not have to buy any software including
the operating system. I changed when XP became obsolete.
I do not worry about virus scanners etc etc either.
Never had a problem like that. There is a scanner that
fires up every now and then but never reports anything.

Anyway, you can dual boot it so you leave your existing windows
intact and on switchon you choose which you want to use.
I did that for a few years, until I found I never used windows anymore.
