haha. I also choose 128GB, save RM300 plus for external HDD if want more storage. HDD still more reliable than SSD.

I bought a rMBP last year. Switching from WINDOWS laptop to mac has been hell for me.

Just can't get used to MAC. I know MAC is able to do loads of stuff, but I just find it difficult to use instead of windows.

Abit regret buy rMBP. Feel like selling and switch back to windows...lol

Frankly mac is way more user friendly than window. It's a simplify version. if you not into computing adn constant troubleshoot go for mac

1 apple last longer than average laptop
2 apple expensive is because of inside out especially Retina. You will not judge how expensive is the hardware or why is it so expensive unless you own one. I used to judge until the day i own one
3 Bootcamp existence because mac run own OS and some people find their software ain't mac compatible so they use bootcamp or parallel dekstop to use their desire software.
4 Retina is one of the kind of laptop. Just like Razer laptop and other normal gaming laptop.

If you really look into how retina and why is it design such a way you won'y complain. you will say how much you love it

Windows platform still got their cheaper version of laptop & PC to setting up as budget cost for entry level, even copyright windows still anywhere in around the world. rclxms.gif

These is just like android phone vs iPhone, you can ask which one is expansive and nice to used?

You are right, most of SSD after used set and bought it over and the performance of speed still getting faster and winner than brand new HDD.

got study here.
what u get from SSD is performance at the moment.
reliability still unclear.
HDD already many year,percentage of failure already have data.
but hard to say,SSD technology are improving over time.
