This too, I've been using it for a while now and it's incredibly fast - based on Chrome so has the Google store too.

Do i have to remove internet explorer before I install any of these. ?

No, you can install them alongside each other. Each one will probably initially ask if you want to set it as the default browser though.

If you want to carry on trying with IE have you tried Internet Options -> Advanced Tab -> Reset Internet Explorer Settings ? This might not be an available option if you are using an older version.

base model macbook pro apparently $2199, guess that'll be about £1500?

Usual outcome when it comes to tech prices is that £ = $, despite the exchange rate. I would wager it'll come out more like £2199 when it comes over here.

RAM is soldered to the systemboard and you have to strip the thing down to get at the hard drive or battery.
