iMac Pro

iMac Pro’s are EXPENSIVE

/in /by

Want a shiny new iMac Pro? Well, re-mortgage the house. It’s going to cost you. A LOT!

While the base iMac Pro is costly at just under £5K, sitting pretty at £4,899, that’s nothing when you start adding on parts.

If you, like us, are a bit of a geek when it comes to computing power. You want the best, most powerful computer you can get. That way you can get your work done as fast and as efficient as possible. So you can either go and start some new piece of creative piece. While on the other hand it gets spares up some time to crack on with COD WW2. Whatever floats your boat.

But……

The iMac Pro, fully loaded costs a grand total of £12, 279. For that low low price you get 12GB of memory, a 4TB SSD and a 18-core Intel Xeon CPU (To release in 2018) Plus if you’re a sucker for all things matching, if you may decide to get matching space grey magic mouse 2/magic trackpad 2 throw an additional £149 on top of that sucker. I mean why not you’re spending 12K as it is. Yet, we’re only saying as Apple’s website state that you can only purchase Space Grey accessories are only available at time of purchase.  As a creative you may also want Final Cut Pro X/Logic Pro X on it too (though we suspect you may already have those on your account) but for those that don’t it’s an additional, £300/2oo respectively.

So….anyone want one still?

(Yes!)

 

Meet up in Spain!

/in , /by

Two friends went to Spain to catch up as it was cheaper to meet up in the UK!

University friends Lucy Walker and Zara Quil had planned to meet up in Birmingham but they decided to go to Spain after finding out that a return ticket would cost £105!

Lucy discovered that it was cheaper to go to Malaga from Newcastle, priced at £20 return with Ryanair than it was to go to Birmingham.

Baring in mind that Newcastle and Birmingham are only 200miles away and the UK and Malaga are 1,500miles apart, that is pretty crazy!

Zara paid £55.59 to go from Birmingham to Malaga using Vueling a Spaninsh budget airline. They then paid a tennar for the night to sleep in a hostel.

They met up on January 7th and stayed for three nights at the hostel.
