Good points:: £300 off due to being refurbished. Seeing it came boxed and plastic still on it made it a great price! A small chip on the corner of the aluminium about the size of a pen nib. Well pleased. Now checking out for a refurbished iPhone!
Bad points:: None.

Good points:: Very easy to set up. Have been used to Windows based PC before but the transition has been quite easy. Great processor speed. Fantastic display. Have installed windows in a separate partition to enable me to play games. Works very well
Bad points:: Not cheap! The Apple mouse resisits working with the Windows partition but my old 'plug and play' mouse works perfectly.
