Is the model I'm going for at £1274.20 inc VAT.

Would really appreciate some advice on the following:

  • The iPod deal is pretty good although I already have an iPhone. Which iPod would be the best choice to maximize the profit if selling it back on eBay. I'm thinking perhaps the 16GB iPod Touch?
  • I was contemplating an SSD but they don't appear to offer an advantage that justifies the ridiculous price. Would it be easy in the future to fit an SSD drive?
  • Is the anti-Glare screen worth another £40?

I would have gone for the highest spec 15"" but I can't afford it and have no real need for the extra power.

Is there anything else I should consider?

Many thanks,
 
I guess the ones in the showroom had the standard screen and they looked pretty amazing. I'll stick with glossy.

I've never fitted an HD to a Mac or laptop before but have a fair bit of experience with computers.
 
When does it end? I thought the HE discount is ongoing.

I've got a choice now. If I wait till my actual birthday in a few weeks and go and buy it from Bluewater, I might be able to afford the 17"" one which would be pretty class. Question is would I really want to carry that round campus at uni and is there any point in paying all that money for a larger screen. I really don't need any of the performance enhancements.
 
Ordered.

Thank you very much for all your help and advice.

If I buy Windows 7 will I be able to install that via Boot Camp?

Cheers
