Hi All,


After my last PC was drowned in a flood I have the opportunity of replacing it with an up to date spec courtesy of the insurers.


The trouble I am having is that they all look bloody awful still compared to Macs. I hate MAC functionality it quite simply does my sweede and cant deal with it.


I've only ever found Hoojum pcs which were good to look at and they were pretty expensive.


Anyone know of a PC you're not embarrassed of keeping in the living room? Or am I wasting my time here?

A MAC, a MAC, a MAC. I have had mine for nearly 7 years, have upgraded memory and RAM - still as stylish and functional as day 1. Never had a virus, never had a crash. If you're a Office / Outlook fan it is possible to get Microsoft for MAC software, tho' MAC e-mail, address book, Safari etc are all better than MS.

Had a look at the Dell Adamo in Waitrose at Canary Wharf. It is very slim and out does the Macbook Air BUT I'm not convinced by the way the hingeing is used to turn part of the upper case into astanding edge.

There are some pretty looking Dell home PCs of small form factor which look like they'd fit alongside some high-end stylised audio kit in the living room, they're not expensive either.


Sony and HP are also offering all-in-one PCs with touchscreens that compete with the larger MACs.


The only issue with all these pretty computers, MACs included, is that if you're after a computer that you don't intend to upgrade and enhance yourself then they'll all be fine, however if you like to upgrade components or add more disk then there's not alot of scope for that. That's when you are driven back to choosing horrendous looking box units.


Am sure you'll find something pretty without an Apple on it. Worse comes to worst you could get a MAC and then install a different OS.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
