No where near an accurate gauge but apple concessions in any electronic store in and around Manchester completely dead this week. Loads of interest in other tablets and laptops it seems, especially Microsoft products.

Possibly but I would rather just start fresh and only carry over that one application.
I do have a hard drive though so that is an option if there isn't another way. Cheers.

Did you update your OS to Sierra? In case, how does it work?
In case anyone is interested how this works 12 months later…
Got a 2,5ghz i5 with a SSD (which it boots from) in the diskdrive, 16gb of ram and with the software up to date and its as good as new. 5 sec boot time, no delays and never freezes.
Would seriously recommend going this route, especially if you can find a 2012 i7.
If you can hang on there are rumoured to be new iMacs in the pipeline, but the rumours are a bit vague (just stating possible release in the first few months of this year).
The prices tend to be pretty much the same everywhere. If you're buying an off the shelf model (i.e. no upgrades) then it's worth buying from John Lewis for their guarantee.
Unless you take a bargain Norwegian flight to New York and buy one there.
I had to buy a new iMac a few months ago when my 2009 iMac died. The Fusion drive is really good, much quicker than the old hard drives.

Hard drives are cheap as chips, can you not plug one in and launch time machine to make a copy of your entire disk? Then when you have a new machine you can restore from the backup and pickup where you left off.

Still got the 2012 Macbook Pro with 2,5GHZ i5 and 4GB RAM which works like a charm. Would recommend getting this one on a budget and then upgrade the ram to 16GB and put in a SSD where the disk drive now sits.
