These days Apple no longer have a performance leap over windows pc and with a possible Windows 8 release next year it seems Microsoft would be the performance leader. It also possible possible to hack a PC to dual boot Apple OS so the argument about which is better is now pretty much irrelevant. I just feel sorry for the Apple fans who think they are getting something special but actually they are overpriced nicely designed products. At least I'm not exploited for my lack of ignorance by the Apple corporation.


@Otta,

For around ?500 you can pick up a not bad system, Intel i5's, and certainly beats the HP crap using the i3 processor. But I guess you may want to pay just little bit more for something that looks nicer.

Still arguing and bitching on here, will never change.>:D<


Otta, just check the vouchers are still valid, you should be able to get them extended. Just been given a load and they last about a year and a half.


If your daughter is going to bash about on this, i would go for a cheaper option as in the pc, you can always replace the plug in keyboard. Cheaper to fix also. I use both mac and pc. The argument between people for mac vs pc will continue always.

ROFLMFAO (sorry to lower the "tone"!) @ "Hifi quality"


Oh dear I've got a stitch!

So you're all set.


You've got your cassette deck with 'feather touch' buttons, Dolby HX-Pro and pointlessly slow eject mechanism.


The speakers are on acoustically treated stands, placed at optimum stereo separation.


You've got your gold-plated leads and your cables have less oxygen (or something) in them than the other ones you could have bought (or is it more..? whatever..)



So all that remains is to kick your loafers off, slip REO Speedwagon on and crank that mutha all the way up to '4'.

The main reason for building a PC is so that I can tick all my boxes for my requirements. For example, the fans must be whisper quiet, the computer must be fast with no lagging, powerful PC performance that is suited to my needs, compact system, quality monitor, and above all a stylish system that will make an Apple Imac look like an overprice plastic junk.


Unfortunately, you're not going to get a computer which tick all of the boxes if you buy one from a PC vendor unless you pay an extortionate amount of money like you do with Apple products.


So Otta, the choice is yours as it's your money and you may have to make a number of compromises before you buy one. With the number of don't know any better people starting to appear on this thread I think it's time for me to better spend my time looking for my ideal PC speakers and PC sound system.

I do like a nice stylish PC.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
