I'll probably skip this and see how the 10th anniversary phone is. The phones now are pretty much too good and you can go back a few years and be happy with them apart from the battery life :P Koing

This. It's less about using the rMBP without it connected to the mains, but having the magsafe snap away safely so it doesn't snag and jar the power connection. I had my first laptop a Sony R500 or R505 back in 2000 go bad after 3-4yrs like that :(. That thing cost like £1.5k back in 2000...

Random :( Thats like the 2012 Mac Mini being quad core and the later generations dropping off quad core and being much less user replaceable. I believe the 2012 Mac Mini you could have 16GB of ram, SSD and an HDD! Koing

No new hardware :( It'll be interesting to see how the rMBP13 goes. No magsafe is a DEAL breaker and a huge step backwards IMO. Koing

If you can get an SSD in it it would feel very fast.

It's a kick in the teeth when you have to pay £150 odd to upgrade form 256GB to 512GB :( same with the ram, from 4GB to 8GB. Now it's standard with 8GB :( I should have gone to 16GB. The SSD connection is propriety but it's faster than SATA3 and M2 drives. It's slower than PCIe. You would...

I made the switch from pc to a modest macbook in 2008. I have rMBP 13. It's solid because the whole base of the laptop is milled from one piece of aluminium. It's only worth going to a mac if you want to use mac os, like and are willing to pay for the build quality (I haven't used a pc...

Hmmmmm....that seems pretty awesome! I'll definitely have to take a look at that. I've watched about 2hrs of youtube videos of sport bikes. BMW HP4! Koing

Cheers for the links! Koing

Hmmmm...thanks for the ideas and keeping it real guys! So it looks like with all of the hassle I probably won't be getting a motorbike. Or I might just get a crappy beater? It'll be depend on where I'm living and if they have anything suitable. The car will end up costing more and the...

Gotcha mate. I'm going to have to really think about this one through. I'm looking at bike garages to lock the bike up but there seems to be lots of hurdles :( Koing

:( Not really in NYC but around NYC for weekend trips or so. If I live in a place with car parking or so that may sway it for me. Or I may to bother as I wouldn't want the bike stolen :( Well there goes the idea of owning a motorbike! It'll be weird to not have my own transport...

No idea where I'm going to park it yet. I'm thinking of living in Hells Kitchen/ Midtown area. It won't be used for commuting but more for fun riding at weekends. I'll read about KLR650s. Koing

I'm moving to NYC in a few months and I've been thinking about getting my license done there and getting a Ninja 300. I'll be doing the MSF course. Insurance. I did a rough quote and on Geico they are charging me $550 odd with no theft! $1500 odd with theft. I'm 32 with zero motorbike...
