Where on earth are you getting Macs for £500? The MacBook Pro I really want is over £2,000. Probably gonna be a long ass time before I get it though.  RE: Help Convince Me Not To

Shit the MacBooks here are $2400 for a good one. Even the barebones are like $1600. The cheapest Macs you can buy are like $1000. And they are shit compared to what you can get out of a PC for the same cost.
Edit: Unless you're talking about a refurb or a used one.

Refurbished, but it's as good as new and comes with a 2 year warranty. Everything comes with a 2 year warranty there.
This laptop is refurbished. Hell, if you replace the parts the thing is new as far as I an concerned ETA: $647 refurbished Mac with a 2 year warranty is not bad right?

We're talking new here, obviously.
I bought a laptop refurb once. It made me paranoid. Any issues and I was like---hold on!!! Also it had surface dings. Wasn't worth the price savings, IMO. Toys needs to be shinys and newses.

Bella, if you can I'd recommend getting a computer refurbished. I got a really decent laptop that way with hundreds of pounds off and haven't had a single problem with it. And I was lucky enough to get one with an SSD hardly used so still with a full life ahead of it.

You must be referring to a refurbished 2012 model or something. There's no way you would get a 2015 model for that much.
