QUOTE(LegendLee @ Mar 18 2015, 01:48 PM) I personally prefer the Razer Orochi. 6400 dpi Bluetooth wireless with wired option. Only issue is the battery life. It's not touch but it has 4(albeit a bit flimsy) side buttons. Just had a look. I'm not familiar with razer products actually. The price for razer orochi is around rm270 right?

QUOTE(asdauzair @ Mar 14 2015, 12:53 PM) Hmm, no, unless you're looking for portability. But you can get the MBA instead which offers better performance than the MacBook.

looking to getting into Macbook, i'm a windows user for more than 2 decades. I'm interested in the MBP 13 retina, which model should i buy? is 256GB disk space enough? my current NB already has 320GB of space and its filling up.
I do mainly excel sheet work and general office application. Can the MBP handle big excel sheets? (like 2-5 mb ones) I do alot of excel formula and data sorting.

We have Office for Mac and whatever you have on your Windows base Microsoft Office files you can open it in Office for Mac If 256GB is not enough, go for 512GB or upgrade to 1TB SSD which has over 1GB/s transfer rate MBP don't have issues handing big excel files, even it is 20MB or 50MB
