Would this outperform/be better than a windows equivalent?
Not
To simplify things, if the price is cheap for that product vote hot, otherwise vote cold. What you think of the product is not the reason to vote. Hence the name of the site Hot UK "DEALS"
Nah, I'm still voting cold. Atrocious value.
Just because something is cheaper than it was doesn't make it a good deal. What you get for your money helps to qualify something as a good deal and in this case what you get is a whole heap of Paul Daniels.
Value is defined by the individual, if it does what the person wants then who cares about specs etc. It is a good deal for some because they would have paid the higher price.
Depends on Intel as to when I guess.
it starts
New Intel CPUs are being officially announced on June 4th or so but not sure about availability.
For desktops a new release is not so much of a deal these days usually but with laptops it generally still is.
But this is cheap for an Air so go figure!
Wouldn't recommend over something with better specs and more capability that you would find in the Dell Outlet store albeit heavier and thicker!
You can't hate them that much.
As you say, there are cheaper options, in some cases alot cheaper. Is the extra worth paying a premium for the quality? For you that's a yes. For me it's a no.
Every product comes with a warranty. I'll take my chances that if it doesn't break down in the first month that whatever I have will last. Granted the loan of a computer while they fix it is a nice benefit. But not at the cost of a couple of hundred quid. I can live without a computer for a day or two. My arms won't drop off.
My experience of Apple support wasn't so good. It took them 7 weeks to get a replacement iPod Nano to me.
Only 3x for desktop processors - for Ultrabook processors (15W TDP) it is more like 50%:
But what is the address of gooddeal4u
some of these companies are based in HK
Have yet to feel another computing unit feel the same quality and build as the apple range.
currently using a 2011 MBP.
Ain't that the truth! For 15+ years I'd been a windows user, and hated the thought of using a mac.
Then, in a panic during the Comet clearout sales, I picked up a macbook pro.
It is quite simply the BEST build-quality, and all drivers are perfectly in-tune with the operating system and hardware. I've managed to get more work done in less time due to everything 'just working as it should'.
I now only use my windows machines for gaming and one bit of software that doesnt run on OSX.
Not voted either way though as I don't feel the Air is good value for money - a macbook pro for a couple of hundred quid more is a better option (the form factor of a macbook pro is ultra-book like anyway - and you get more ports!).
Petrol now 2p a leter cheaper!
With Dell I phone them and they send an engineer the next business day to my location (work or home etc) to fix it. Nearest Apple store is a 90 mile roundtrip which means a 3 hour journey plus the hassle of parking and you have to make an appointment or wait.
Apple have some excellent features but their lack of onsite next business day warranty makes them a non player for most in the business world. Taking 4 hours off work to fix a PC would cost me £200 in lost earnings plus all the hassle.
They make great consumer devices but that’s it.
I disagree.I've got the latest macbook air 13 inch and after using windows for many years I have to admit the mac does have some awesome features BUT the price does not justify them .You can get a top end windows laptop for half the price of an air which will do pretty much the same thing.You're just paying the extra for the apple sign.
But if you want the last technology better to wait since this Macbook Air is in the end of their cycle, soon a new one will be on the market.
I am the happy owner of a Macbook Air mid2011 and it works like the first day after intensive use. It has survive to wild camping, backpack carrying, flights, used in beaches during months, cold winters as well, carrying with it everywhere day after day... Almost 2 years of service and still running and with a great battery life.
Other laptops and netbooks I had on the past had a much more easy life and died or need battery replacements every year.
