But if you buy the Apple you still have an Apple a the end of the day. Better to buy a real computer to start with really.

Check out the spec on this, it's an absolute monster! ?999. I've bought a pc from these before, they are a fantastic company. They offer a 5 year carefree warranty for a little extra, any problems they will send a courier around in 24 hours, fix the problem and send it back very quickly, you don't pay a penny. This PC puts mine to shame spec wise even though it cost the same only a year ago. Shows how fast technology moves on & prices become cheaper.

Edit: I should say they DID offer a 5 year warranty, looking at the website it only mentions 3 years.
