(not a 'Pro' model). Will be for my wife for general domestic computing, not processing or storing images. Am not aware of when current models were introduced and when due for updating. Any recommendations on timing and/or models welcome. 2017-07-20T21:28:37+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1461#6924 Mick Burrell info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ The best time depends on your requirements. As they sound fairly basic, it sounds as if the "outgoing" model would be fine in which case the best time is when there's a bargain on one at Apple's refurb store or John Lewis etc. If the current model won't due then you need to wait till the next launch to see if that will.

No word as to what but I guess some last year's Macs is a possibility. 2017-07-20T22:52:19+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1461#6928 Roy Rainford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Many thanks Mick and Tony. The MacRumours link has the info needed and I must visit Solutions on Saturday to view their 'offers'. Didn't know they are moving. 2017-07-21T11:56:34+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1461#6930 Derek Wright info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ I have bought a few "last year's models" from Jigsaw 24 in Nottingham, they ship out quickly and have a very competent repair service.

I see that Jigsaw have tempting offers on the MacBook at the moment. 2017-07-22T12:05:49+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1461#6934 Roy Rainford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Decision made at a very busy Solutions shop in Bournemouth this morning. Got the new MacBook with 10% discount. Thanks again for all the replies. Next question - please see my new post. 2017-07-22T18:47:57+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1461#6937 Tony Still info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Well done Roy! 10% is worth having. Look forward to you stealing it from your wife to bring to meetings in the future.
