Exciting stuff!
I upgraded the ram to 2gb, it was the £1349 one though that only came with 1gb. I think I have got a 120gb one as i couldnt afford to up the hd and also i can always use my external hd as i do with my pc.

You wouldnt need pictures of girls with one! The mac radiants enough sexiness as it is!!

I think i will still get annoyed at it as im so used to windows, at college the macs would do my head in sometimes (although they were old crap macs that always crashed!)

Im looking forward to getting the garage band expansion packs! World music looks well fun!x

lol i did think for a minute...is he offering to photograph me with it? but I realise now!! Cheers! I think getting used to generally using a laptop (might by a mouse for it, get annoyed at touch pads) and having to download the mac msn etc will take a while.

Excellent idea. Macs are notorious (apparantly) for not liking third party RAM so to upgrade later might well be a false economy, or cost a shedload to get Apple to put in whatever it is they use. Plus it's best to have all the RAM you can get with music apps.

Macs certainly like RAM. No denying that.

GarageBand is one of the apps I've never used on mine. Me? Musical? Yeah, right. /spots crack running down window.

I also upgraded my Macbook Pro with Kingston ram. 2x 1gb chips for dual channel. Been fine and was very easy to upgrade.
