i am in a in a similar delima. Just bought a dell pc for the office but i think i'm going to buy a mac laptop next for home. Where is this refurb store you talk about?

Here it is - Apple Store - Republic of Ireland - Refurbished iPod - Enjoy!

If you decide to buy from Apple directly I would advise you to ring their sales team. I haggled with them and managed to get a wireless mighty mouse and a case for next to nothing. I told him I was in two minds about going for the macbook as Dell are offering a free printer with their latest laptop....It went on from there

cheers good idea.

The features mentioned above by cormac.I would like to know about the laptop containing these features would be of what cost?

I recently ordered a Dell Vostro 17" Laptop with excellent specs for just under 1k. I'm still waiting on it to arrive though. Can't wait to upgrade from this one, the bigger screen is gonna be sweet.

I bought that exact one for both my brother and my house mate. they are huge.. you even have room for a normal number pad on the keyboard.

Did you get it with truelife or what ever the call the shinny screen?

Yeah I kinda wanted to go for a desktop that I could fold up and take with me, power over portability. I went for the default screen. I was reading up on wxga/wsxga/wuxga (sp?) and decided to go with the default wxga screen because the high resolution and small fonts on the wuxga would probably be too much for me (probably better for CAD use or similar). 1900x440 or whatever it is will be plenty fine for me, certainly nicer than 1024x768 But I did upgrade the HD to a 7200rpm so it should be a beast

We're currently looking into replacing all the desktops with laptops and docking stations

any particular reason ?

In the first big company I worked in they did this and while it was great I think I only took the machines home once or twice. There was at the time a huge difference in price between the desktops and laptops ... now I guess you can get pretty decent laptops for the 500mark ( I know I bought herself a cheapish laptop from dell which does the job for that around a year ago)

Do your staff actually bring work home with them ?? or move around the place that much ?

Laptop + Monitor + Docking station + keyboard + mouse is still going to cost a good bit more than a €600 or €700 dell machine that'll be up to the task with a 19inch monitor

While some of our staff are unlikely to ever need to take work home, others do. Some of the desktops need to be upgraded anyway, so it makes sense to examine all the options
