    Audi owners in here!

    Ah right. I'll give the local centre a ring and see what they advise. Cheers. Edit: They just said to stick to what the computer tells me. As long as it's got full service history when I give it back I'm not too fussed otherwise about paying for extra interim services etc.

    Audi owners in here!

    Yep that's what I thought and what the computer says, I'm just a bit weary that if I don't get something done to it first year I'll get a fine when I return the car. There's the oil change service and the major inspection service (which I assume is the one my car's computer will notify me of).

    Audi owners in here!

    This might be a daft question, but here goes. I've got an Audi on lease from them directly, I got it on the 12th July 2013 brand new - when is it due it's first service (of any type)? I think I'm on the digital service schedule and the car's computer tells me in 375 days, which would be 2...

    Think I'll end up biting the bullet next week :D

    2013 Haswell Retina MacBook Pro...

    Thanks guys. Not bothered about additional connectivity as it'd be solely for use with my rMBP. I like the idea of using the monitor as a docking station where my mouse, keyboard, etc. are all set up, just plug in and go. I'm just a bit wary to drop £750 (or whatever the HE price of a TBD is)...

    2013 Haswell Retina MacBook Pro...

    I need to get myself an external monitor. I love my 15" rMBP, but I need the screen real estate for work. I know the Thunderbolt displays haven't been updated in ages and there's rumours of a 4K screen, etc. But is there really any better alternative to the cinema display to dock my rMBP when...

    My top spec 15" died on me at the weekend - 3 weeks old. Took it into Apple today and it's looking like the SSD has failed, getting it replaced free under warranty - cost on the invoice is £600 for the SSD + £24 labour :p Pretty miffed to be honest, I asked for a completely new machine but I...

    Workflows and stuff you use.

    Anyone got a recommendation for the best Mac GUI app for SVN?

    Workflows and stuff you use.

    Photoshop, MAMP, CodeKit, Coda2 and Gitbox are the basis of my workflow. SASS is so worth it. I'm particularly liking Bourbon Neat at the moment for responsive grids.

    Yep, I have a Hershel as my bag - much comfier than an over the shoulder number. It has a pouch in the back for up to a 15" laptop. The case I use is this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001MB3OFY

    I have a foam case which I then put in a bag if I'm travelling anywhere. Double protection! :p

    Comments after first hour or so of use: SO glad I went for the 15" - it's just about the right amount of screen real estate at native res. Any less and I would have been disappointed. The screen is out of this world and the system just flies. Will report back once I've done a few days proper...

    Bit the bullet and bought the top spec 15". Arriving Friday :D

    Yeah, I see your point. Perhaps not. Then if you upgrade the SSD too you're nearly there at the top spec price anyway. This has escalated quickly :p

    2013 Haswell Retina MacBook Pro...

    Cheers, appreciate that. I'm not really on a particular budget as this is a business purchase, so I think I'm going for the 15". Reasons being: I am aiming to work on site a bit more, but for the last few years I've been 99% remote. I'm thinking the base spec 15" (with 16GB RAM upgrade) could...

    2013 Haswell Retina MacBook Pro...

    Argh, I'm so torn. I've had a 13" MBA previously and loved the form factor, but to do any real work on (without an external monitor) I found a chore. I've heard a lot of people moan about the size of the 15" for lugging about, which I guess I'd be doing a bit of. I just don't want to sit...

    I really can't decide what version to get. My situation is I need a laptop for meeting clients and potentially work on site (I'm a web dev). My iMac is also 3 years old now and although still performing fine as my workhorse, I could potentially use the rMBP as my desktop solution with a...

    I think it's about time I got a new laptop since my Air died via water damage. These look tempting. I guess I'm stuck with the what model to get conundrum. Current setup is a 2011 27" iMac (2.8 i5, 16GB RAM) which more than caters for my work needs (web developer/designer). This would be...

    "Next Gen" Thoughts

    Loving my Xbox One. Quick blasts on FIFA and COD online is more of the same but still enjoyable. Really like putting the odd hour into Dead Rising 3 and Ryse too, really solid single player games in my opinion. I've had a PS4 since launch too and it's not getting a look in (turned on 2-3...
