Plenty time to get the applecare then, this site helped explain what it's about - http://www.macworld.com/article/2048197/is-applecare-worth-it-.html
"Any other questions let me know." i'll be in touch :D
cheers mate
I took your advice and went for the £1780 spec :) got it for £1650 so a decent saving through work!
Hopefully it comes this week!
thanks for your help Al!
i haven't got the applecare though, will i regret that? Is it 'needed'?
no doubt i will be needing some noob tips when it comes as i have...
So you do have to be a student?
I'm with you, i don't mind paying extra to eliminate any risk.
I get a discount through work too.
if you don't mind would you do a spec for me on the apple website and print screen it. With a budget of £1800 BEFORE discount.
i might nip to the trafford centre...
I really appreciate your reply, cheers.
Just had a look at 27" 3.2ghz with 1tb fusion. £1845. Eeeeek!
About this uni discount.. Don't you have to be at UNI? Lol
well budget is around £1400 and i could get a 27" for that.
is it worth the extra couple of 100 for the bigger screen?
It is for gopro footage and editing really.
Not sure mate, don't think so.
could someone recommend me a spec to go for?
I was thinking 21.5"
2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB (two 4GB) memory
1TB hard drive1
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 1GB video memory.
this should be more than good enough for what i want...
Hello guys,
i am after a iMac next week, basically it is for my gopro footage and editing.
I get a small discount from apple through work, what spec should i get?
never had a mac before, so i am in need of some advice!
i plan on keeping the mac for about 5 years (hopefully).
cheers
Buying an iMac in a couple of weeks and i am wondering if i should include Final Cut Pro X?
It is for editing GoPro footage. I know it's a bit of a wedge to be paying out at £200 as i am a complete novice in editing and imac's in general.
But, that said, what are my other options? Is anything as...
This films in 1080p and is pretty cheap at £189.99

With the price being low you could buy the suction cup:

and an external microphone.
message G 172. He's the man selling...
I looked for them in the uk as well but couldn't find any. May have to pay extra charges when they come but even after that it will still be miles cheaper than gopro ones.
yeah 3+ black with bacpac.
pm incoming.
I got the battery bacpac for £49.99 with a limited edition housing. Doesn't quite double the battery life but not far off.
i have also just ordered some Wasabi batterys from usa, suppose to be longer lasting than gopro ones and they are very cheap and come with a wall and car charger. Still...
Yeah i have had a look on there before, the same Mac from pcworld (£1,149) and apple (£1,076). But i get 7% off pcworld through work. Pretty much the same really.
i have never had a mac before so i'm not really clued up on them. Any advice appriciated.
Thinking of getting one of these on payday.

Is it worth splashing out and getting the 27"?
will it be ok for gopro editing?
maybe i should start a thread in the PC section. :)
He did'nt look at all mate i think he had ear plugs in.. Idiot!
yeah the first 10 seconds is fine for me on the ipad, it must be the pc.
i went for the side of the helmet because of more options regarding angles and directions of filming.
and i also tether it lol.
going go-karting next week and...
I filmed this a couple of hours ago, anybody know why the first 10 seconds is really pixelated?
Filmed in 720 100fps. Exported via gopro studio.
Really need a new desktop pc/mac to do some decent videos with edits. This video was just a test
