Well i just gone and done it, i have finally switched. In quite a happy mood even when spending a lot of money. Must say apple guys are very very nice, spoken to em in shops and on the phone, great service.

I just brought:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz
incase Sleeve
HP Wireless Printer (Rebate)
Classic Ipod (Rebate)

and of course included was the 3yr apple care.

Came to about £1400 but of course with the rebates it comes down to around £1200

Can't wait to receive all of it!

i dont think i can link ware i found it, on there site? if i can i will.

but ''How do I replace the battery in my MacBook Pro?
The battery in your MacBook Pro is a consumable item, which means it will require replacement at the end of its useful life. A replacement battery can be purchased directly from Apple. The price of the replacement battery includes installation of your new battery and environmentally responsible disposal of your depleted battery.''

''Apple Price
15-inch and 13-inch
£99 inc. VAT''

think that means that it will be 99pounds for both of the batterys and if its a new 2009 model they will fit it for free.

''Summary

The battery in the following MacBook Pro models should only be replaced by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Please do not attempt to replace the battery in your MacBook Pro yourself.

* MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009)
* MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009)
* MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009)
* MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)
* MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009)
''

still a little confused but i think that they just replace it for you costing 99pounds and p&p or traveling to a store.

Just wondering what about apple care? does it cover a replacement battery?

I also asked on the phone about the new snow leopard and where new mac buyers stand, it will cost £7.50 which is not really bad, like come on its not exactly much.

Yeah i also asked about replacement of battery and they said it would be no problem, that they would advise me to bring it to a genius bar in the distant future. Hopefully they open a shop up in reading like they were planning.

I brought the base 15" because it seemed perfect for me, only gripe was the graphics card, when the old base model had a better card but hey i have an xbox for games.

Processor speed always seems really pointless to go on nowadays for a small amount more, i am just glad they have increased it to 8GB for ram that where the difference will be seen.
