Here is one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Apple-Macbook...m4148960946&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_821wt_909

but hard drive is only 160gb, you could always upgrade later and depends how you feel with ebay.

Also http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/specialdeals/mac?mco=MTE2ODI

But prices a over your £600

Looks like your best bet is to look at the other companies you liked like hp and lenovo, apple is still over your price range and even if its close it seems the HD is not the right size


Hey, thank you for the effort, but i would prefer to buy new. On Hp's website there wasn't much, but on Lenovo's website i found the Ideapad u350. Does anyone have any experiences with the u350?
