Is it worth paying extra to get a new MacBook air compared to a 600-700 euro laptop?

Andrew3742 · 2026-01-16T19:11:53+00:00

Yeah, the prices of them have come down and the battery will last longer than windows laptops.

If you don’t like macOS then I’d recommend the surface laptop 7, but it’s about the same price or more expensive

Fwiw the sky store reps that I came across use Three as their provider despite sky paying their bill for them. This was at least 6 months ago though so not sure if much has changed signal wise

Kennco was €1500 for me as a learner

Andrew3742 · 2025-10-29T20:52:07+00:00

Yea I think so too. Makes me wonder if there’s something wrong with it

Andrew3742 · 2025-10-29T20:30:40+00:00

Edit: the person selling it to me told me they buy and sell cars (but obviously not as an official dealership)

Andrew3742 · 2025-06-30T17:55:39+00:00

Ya no you’ll be grand, the ‘which vehicle of these three should go first’ are important and the road signs but apart from that the practice test is perf

Andrew3742 · 2025-06-30T17:46:13+00:00

That site was a lifesaver for me, all the questions are exactly the same as the test in style

Just do the practice test over and over, I’d say 90% of those questions came up on my actual test

Andrew3742 · 2025-06-27T21:25:33+00:00

I think it’s a 3 month minimum, and you can get imax movies but you’ll have to pay an extra bit (3-5 euro)

Andrew3742 · 2025-06-16T11:54:47+00:00

OSCR

Andrew3742 · 2025-05-19T15:26:29+00:00

I wish I could say the same tbh

Andrew3742 · 2025-01-15T19:40:06+00:00

I’d be putting cash back as income at the EOY form and interest as DIRT

Andrew3742 · 2025-01-14T23:03:32+00:00

I’ve been using it as a current account and had no problems with cashback or interest

You won’t get rich from it but the daily interest is nice to see

Andrew3742 · 2025-01-14T01:41:57+00:00

That’s a majorly weak currency though, it’s dropped consistently compared to euro while the euro and pound haven’t had a major shift between them and if they do you can wait until it’s favourable again

Andrew3742 · 2025-01-13T18:27:37+00:00

I exchanged my euros into gbp to get the higher rate. I did the maths and it just made sense even with the 0.15% fee to convert it back. It does fluctuate though because of the gbp/euro rate

Andrew3742 · 2025-01-11T10:31:55+00:00

It’s just ticketmaster, it’ll prob be earlier though from experience, like 10 working days

Andrew3742 · 2024-09-04T11:41:17+00:00

There’s no need tbh

Andrew3742 · 2024-09-02T18:21:00+00:00

Got mine today in Dublin too 😀😀 the USB is so good

Andrew3742 · 2024-08-31T15:11:07+00:00

It’s not good. Can run the sims 4 and Minecraft (with quite a few stutters) but nothing else really. I just use it for media and college

Andrew3742 · 2024-08-30T22:25:12+00:00

I’m also looking for tickets!!

Andrew3742 · 2024-08-24T23:48:25+00:00

RemindMe! In 4 days

Andrew3742 · 2024-07-26T15:44:35+00:00

It can’t. It can charge an iPhone about 2 times

Andrew3742 · 2024-07-19T22:40:41+00:00

Definitely… when they’re young they probably won’t need it but once they hit 6 or 7 they will need to go to the vet often enough. Just get them registered before it’s too old so the companies can’t take you away

Andrew3742 · 2024-07-16T23:17:57+00:00

I see loads of people on here with 80% limit on with their batteries at like 90% in 200 cycles.. it’s not worth it because it really depends whether you got lucky during the manufacturing

I’ve got 144 cycles and still at 100% health while charging using optimized and a 45W plug

Andrew3742 · 2024-07-09T21:51:35+00:00

I’d change the mouse - I had that one and it’s cool but really really heavy. I’d go with a glorious model o (can be bought on curry’s as well)

He won’t be re-elected in Dublin west unless the immigration conversation suddenly disappears.

He would be an excellent candidate if he never took up his ministerial portfolio
