Converters in Wilko are less than a quid!

Its taxes once again, try and see if they ship them to the UK…mind you then you get shafted with an import levy.

Why in gods name would you buy this?

it has one usb
no firewire
no cd or dvd drive, its an external extra to buy
a battery that you have to send the whole unit in to replace
memory that you have to send in to upgrade

but it is thin and aluminum.

other then that… for the coin no fucking way.

the not having a cd drive puts me off, but at least it has a usb port, two would be nice though.  but the poster above has noted all the problems maybe ill leave it alone and focus my attention on the imac instead.
