Ok so I want to get a brand new Apple Macbook but they are way to expensive in the UK.

I'm due a holiday and think it might be a good idea to get my Macbook abroad and take advantage of the currency rates etc. Now the US looks good and will make a good saving and i know there are official Apple shops around the world - but am I limited to those countries that have Apple shops?

Can I get a Macbook in Morocco say???

Any ideas? Duty-free?? Anyone get their Macbook from abroad?

Thanks

"I got a new laptop that said it had 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Does that mean it is 2GHz each core or 1GHz each core"

I have Windows XP Pro (genuine) with all updates and 1250mhz processor and 1gb memory.

Every time I turn my computer on, once it gets to the desktop with all programme's showing it freezes and i have to turn the power off and back on, and it always works the second time and loads up ok after windows preforms a "check disk", my file type is FAT2 If that means anything to you.

And the the other problem is that when it loads up, it always loads up to an account that is just called administrator instead of my account (paul) but when i go to log that one off, only my account (and guest account) is showing on the list, so i have to click on my name to load right, there isn't even an account just called administrator there??

Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance

My laptop, which is about three years old, just shuts down by itself pretty much at random. It is very hard to do homework on it, so I end up saving my documents every two minutes. I recently had limewire on it, and I heard stories of that program corrupting and messing up people's computers. So I uninstalled it. But I still had the same problem. So then I performed a virus scan. When the computer did manage to let the scan finish, turns out that there weren't any viruses. I was wondering if anybody knows what is going on with my computer, and if there are any solutions. Thank you.

I'm told that a patch can be downloaded free in order to effectively cover and hide what I call 'bluespot' (a pixel or cluster of pixels) which appears on an otherwise perfectly 'clean' screen. It is ice blue in colour and stands out upon the black background! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I want to use my laptop for very casual gamning (no desktop for me, please do not mention). I cant decide which one i should purchase, the 7600 has better benchmarks but does not support dx10. Are the specs for the 8400 low enough to make a difference between the two for laptop gaming?
