... and considering Business Leasing for a few good reasons. But the question is...
... Do I go Mac or stay PC? :-\ :-\
Also need to look at getting SWMBO a new lappy as her screen has packed up... I think it might be graphics driver overheating as it kind of hisses and flashes up for a second or 2 before going off :-\ :-\
Perhaps lease 2 PC's for not dissimilar prices to the Macbook Air :-\ :-\

Discrete graphics on laptops does tend to cause reliability issues. Most 2nd and 3rd gen i3/i5 have enough graphics power (video is integrated on cpu, not chipset) for most non games.
Given the cost and lack of compatibility, unless you have a specific need for a Mac...

And you know my views on Acer, your preferred Wintel brand ::)

Looking at leasing deals, actually they're Lease/Purchase deals, (better for the business needs/finances) there's not a huge difference between PC/Mac. In fact, the PC's look quite over priced in comparison :-\ :-\

If you can wait 3 or 4 months.... ;)

Should add... Acer weren't so much the chosen brand as the right price at the time and they've now done at least 4 years so not too shabby ;)

If looking at business grade laptops, they will be pricey, due to robustness and managebility - you don't get much of that with Macbooks.

Personally would go for Windox lappys - bigger software base.
As for "dodgy" screens on lappys, 99 times out of 100, fault caused by "dodgy" wires/connection caused by opening/closing lid - worth checking and repairing (you ok with a soldering iron?) ;) Just need to pop screen out and have a look

get yourself down to comet before they shut down completely
i dont think crapple products work correctly on here btw

Yep... Mine is screen wires and should be fixable. Hers is definitely more serious ::)
Might well repair mine and give it to her and get the new one for me under lease :-\
