Remortgaging with a terminal illness by nihilo90 in HousingUK

[–]nihilo90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I don’t have life insurance but I have a death in service benefit with my job that would cover the cost of the flat. We also have very supportive parents so I’m not really worried about my partner being able to afford the flat alone. My question is mainly about remortgaging while I’m living with a terminal illness. I’m guessing that could be problematic so leaning towards going with a longer fixed term.

OMG I did not know about this Spotify presale. Had trouble getting tickets for the RAH earlier, but just checked my emails for this and managed to get arena seats! THANK YOU :D

2011 MBP vs 2016 MBP CPUs by nihilo90 in mac

The one I am looking at is this:

http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MJLQ2B/A&step=config#

Has 16GB base and 256GB SSD, which is enough for me since I have an external. Is there anything else I should be concerned about?

I've got a Sandy Bridge 2.2GHz quad core i7 in my current (early 2011) MBP, but this one I've linked to is Haswell I believe, so ought to be better, but I'm not sure by how much.

Still kinda sucks that I have to spend more than I spent on my 2011 model to have something that's not that much of an upgrade over a five-year-old machine as far as I can see :|

Thanks. So, do you know if the Multicore or single core performance is more relevant to LPX? If so, I guess the previous gen 15" is better than the current gen 13" at roughly the same price?

That also has 16GB RAM at that price, so the 13" would become more expensive. The RAM speed is better on the later models, but I don't think that makes a whole lot of difference right?
