Updating Macbook

[batman123]

Okay heres how it is...

I live in the UK and come september time i need to buy a new laptop for school. It needs to be reasonably powerful and have storage space.
(WHY WONT APPLE BRING OUT MACPRO 13.3 )

Anyway, i am looking at the macbook but apple charge soooooo much for upgraded RAM and hard drives, so i will probably end up buying a 2.0 GHz without upgrades, so...

could ya'll post links to UK sites where is can buy cheap hard drives that fit in the macbook easilly (120gb or summit).

Also links to sites that sell macbook compatible RAM, 2GB as cheap as possible

So i will probs end up with a macbook 2.0, 2gb ram, 120 gb hd (darn i want a macpro 13 )

Okay ta.

Batman.

Check out this thread for UK RAM - Lots of sites for you to choose from.

As for hard drive, I'd go to dabs.com and check these out.

Hope that helps.

eBuyer.com is cheaper and more reliable than dabs.com - my father's company ended up almost suing dabs once for screwing up order after order.

Really? I've never used ebuyer, or had a bad experience with dabs. Strange - I'll give them a go next time. Thanks for the tip.

I ended up getting Trading Standards invlovled last time I ordered from Dabs. They have ended up on my never order from list.

Yes.

You know you can use the url tags to give links sensible names

Ta, thats an alright deal, its like half the price of apple for a 120Gig HD and i can sell the old 60 or 80 one on ebay, gt more £$£$£ back

And i know that i can call the links normal names, it is just that i am an eejit , and dont know how...

check out that sellers listins. I bought 2GB ram from him, they arrived in 4 or 5 days(you get tracking number as well so you can track them all the way to your door).

I'm in UKL as well. I've instaleld them into my Macbook, and have done 2 tests with memtextosx and they've both been fine.

Yes, this is the drive that I currently have in my MacBook and is apparently one fo the drives that Apple ships BTO MacBooks with.
