Hi, long story short - was disappointed in the recent updates, as now in the UK I have to spend more money on a 15inch MBP to get a GT card.
I was tempted to go for a refurb in the UK, but have now been presented with the option of buying a 15inch MBP in the US (the folks are going over to meet my sister in LA next month) and they asked if I wanted anything brought over.
I did some currency conversion and I can get the 2.66 15inch MBP for around 1210 GBP, wheras here in the UK the baseline MBP 15inch MBP is 1299. The 2.66 in the UK for comparison is 1499.
That's a really tidy saving, and of course I'm getting more for less money than the baseline 15inch.
-------------------------
So my question..
What sort of problems can I expect with the components over long term use with the UK power supply using an American MBP?
Can I buy an official Apple product to convert the power supply?
Any experiences?
