As far as I'm aware, there's no "try before you buy" with Apple products! I note what Jamie said. That is exactly what I had thought, and the principal reason I chose to buy now! |

Distance selling regs, if my wife can't get it working. Apple take stuff back within 28 days anyway, have done ever since I started buying off them in 2004. IIRC they charged a restocking fee sometime prior to that, at least in America - a local co-worker was warning me of it when I went over to their office and decided to go MacBook Air shopping for that first one in the manila envelope.

It will be interesting to see how it compares with my 2015 MacBook Pro (which is still very solid). I've been prevaricating over a new iMac.Â* Tempting to get the i7 (8 full cores) 2020 version this year or wait until the Mx version. After the Apple presentation I'm very willing to wait. Have you watched here? https://www.apple.com/uk/macbook-air/ I was captivated! :-) Apple employ the very best advertising psychologists to ensure that you and your fellow disciples are captivated. geoff |

Yes, and Apple's appears to be particularly (the most ?) effective, if that were true, apple would have a dominant market share. since they don't in any segment in which they compete that comment, like everything else you say about apple, is demonstrably false. engendering generations of adherents many of whom automatically purchase the next version of Apple anything/everything. utter nonsense. |
