Thanks - a full 1151 system. e.g. board+ram+cpu+cooler, case, and PSU works out around £400-500 depending on specifics. A similar 1150 one would perhaps be around £50 cheaper, so not a huge difference. I think that given that small margin, going for the newer one makes sense... Anything else...

So I'm looking to refresh 2 of my main home PCs - one is a family all-rounder, the other is a HTPC connected to our large LED, used for movies/videos consumption. Both will be small form-factor systems. I've been looking around and in terms of main components, e.g. CPU, Board and memory...

WuMyster - can you confirm who you've tweeted, or provide a link please? looking for the X2's as well...

so how would my flight to Toronto be routed tomorrow (1500)?? according to the advisory maps, it will have to make quite a detour from Heathrow, going north towards Greenland...

due tomorrow 1500 to Toronto... any chance the flight will be canceled? from what I could gather current flights to the US take around 2 hrs longer as they need to re-route towards Spain.

yes, that's what I thought, but it does seem strange that it doesn't get an IP from the router. LEDs are all green and the pair seem to be sync'ing

So I've got a pair of homeplugs, plugged one into the mains near the router, connected the LAN cable to the router. Then went upstairs, plugged the other homeplug into the mains, cable to the NIC on the PC and.... nothing. Tried everything I know to get the PC to talk to the router - nothing...

Sure, that's not a problem. Our consultants work mainly in the field with their clients. They do things like coaching sessions, workshops, facilitation of meetings, interviews, etc. In terms of policies, we don't have a lot of those. Mainly use GPs for managing drive mappings...

that's standard practice with this service. I've sent them an "unlick" request which should get rid of that message.

Not sure why... Try this one http://nc-11.blogspot.com/ Cheers, NC.

So after few months or considering this, I've taken the time recently and produced a comprehensive review. It is based on our business (a management consultency) systems and requirments, so may not be suitable for everyone. However, I think it contains the right context and details to assist...

Yep, i think most of them do. that's the purpose of my review - is there more to the MAC than just a pretty face in the corporate world? The answer may just be... no. All I'm after is a proper and comprehensive review, that's all.

Well, I dont think this mismatch is what a proper review is all about. I also dont think that the HW is the main advantage of the MAC. The MBP looks good and has very good specs, however I beileve that the TCO on the Dell is better.

I'm responsible for IT in a global management consultency. Towards the end of last year I started to get requests from many consultants to replace their windows-based Dell laptops with MB's. The usual argument regarding ease of use and increased productivity ruled most conversations. Of course...

well. i think we can safely take the public transport option out of the way... which leaves us with the modeo, a rover 75 and perhaps a good s60. thanks for the suggestions, i'll start doing the rounds on autotrader!

good point but I'll need to change 3 times which is not ideal. Also, TBH, after driving for so long I dont think I'll be able to get used to public transport again...

Unfortunately not enough to be confident of choosing the right one in an auction, as that is a great idea! Also, I've never bought a 100K miles car before, so wouldnt know what to expect and what to look for in the SH, even if it was a full main dealer one. I take the point about old...

Sorry, not sure I understand that... currently it's 350 lease plus whatever running costs for insurance, diesel and possible service\repair. You saying that if I go for a 2K Jag It'll be those and more?

That's what I need to get rid of mate - lease costs:mad:
