Craigslist, I've bought and sold a ton of stuff including this samsung 10.1 galaxy at approximately 50% off

If you can wait until the new Skylake Macbook pro's are released, I'll have a few late 2013 vintage 15" Macbook Pro Retina's for sale ;P

Top spec ones too :)

Go to Emporium Plaza Bangkok - I would not trust another location to buy new. I see loads of "Apple resellers". Not the real deal for me.

Work colleague of mine put me onto it. If you have a Tourist Visa you get the VAT back at the airport with the right paperwork.

There are many things in life that can get people very angry and with good reason. What I cannot understand is the angst/anger/debate about Apple & Microsoft computers/phones.... I have used both since the dawn of having them as a workplace tool and not a household gadget. I care not a jot which I use or buy. Currently its a MacBook Air ......

If someone had asked where the Toyota dealer is - no one comes on and screams buy a Honda....?

I thought the same until I bought a Mac in April last year. Not an Apple 'fanboy' but compared to what I experienced since my first PC in 1997 then I would not consider a non-apple machine again.

I don't get any choice in the company supplied hardware I use - other than lobbying for a better spec.. I also run dual-boot because several applications I use simply need Windows, and to be frank, I was not at all excited as the company started buying more OSX software and I was forced to 'learn' OSX.

Previous to Mac's we we had all sorts... Toshiba's, ASUS, Acer, Dell etc. Then we spent 2 annual cycles on Sony VAIO Z's in the hope their most expensive hardware might be a little more reliable.. It wasn't.

The fact is, when we were running Windows hardware, crashes, OS reinstalls, cyclic driver upgrades, hardware failures, and other things that just didn't work as advertised impacted everyone's work life. Since switching to Mac's 4 years ago, that is all a distant memory. We have 90 of them in our Thai offices, which means a total of 180 machines to date (we turn our Mac's every 2 years vs annually). None of them have been returned for service. None have needed an OS reload, none have caused any employees downtime at all. They just work.

I have always been a windows guy. Certified since the early 90s. But the Mac Air I have is great. However, switching back and forth is too much. I need to get back to windows and with a larger screen.

IMHO, pm me details of your 2 year old mac pros and price. I may get one, as I have bought too many apps to just give them up.
