also..would like to tell everyone, I am 90% decided to go back to windows. While it has been a fun few weeks with os x, I am not seeing the advantage of using osx over windows. Everything that osx can do windows also can do and better too. Osx also have it's advantages too but for my requirement, windows out-weight osx.

The question that made me decided to go back is this:
Can I live with osx (without windows vm or dualboot)? Answer is NO.
Can I live with windows (without osx vm or dualboot)? Answer is YES.

May I know what are the things that Windows out-weight OSX for your requirement?

OSX install Windows VM is very easy, why is that the deciding factor?

my thought why Windows better

1. cut/copy and paste windows better
2. hidden folder not appear in OSX menu and need to use terminal command to do it
3. some program like acestream, splayer and several other is not able to run on OSX which is good for streaming and movie

more to explore as still quite new to OSX

1. Why is cut and paste better in windows?
2. Just 1 time only? Then you got hidden files?
3. If's it illegal one, then I have no comment, since I just torrent or use streaming websites.
If it's just for playing videos, I use MPV player which works really well and can set up to stream Twitch too biggrin.gif
If you can wait, wait for the upcoming macbook pro 13 inch.. Gonna be a refresh with new features.
Personally, I feel that Macbook is too small for my uses.. since I am using rmbp 13 inch and it lags for me..

2. i use to need hidden and unhide for some of my work

If you want to use keyboard shortcut foe cut and paste, here is some:

click on your file, press command+c
then go to your folder of destination, press command+option+V
The file is now moved to the desired folder.
It's as simple as in Windows.

but window just CTL + V laugh.gif

Before that you still need to cut the file, don't you?
If you think pressing an additional key is difficult, then I think you shouldn't consider Macbook at the first place.
You just can't compare an apple with an orange...

when i first use the max, i not get use to it as when i right click there is no cut option laugh.gif
probably need sometime to get use to is for all the key command.
most of my time i using mouse rather than short cut key.. laugh.gif
