Dazmond ...... do yourself a favour and get a macbook air instead of a windows laptop .
no boot up times just open lid and its ready , no slowing down , last for years .
its like going from a broadaxe pole to an extreme .
Not like iPads then. My ipad 2 has got slower and slower with every iOS upgrade. Stick with Windows Daz, more software, better performance for the money. A £1,000 pc will be better performing than a £1,000 Apple. The one thing I do like about Apple is the virus protection.
