Sure, no problem. But don't expect to play most recent games in ultra/high settings.

I think the GST is included hence they increase it. If not then you'll need to pay even more.

Oh my god. If i order now, after that i need to pay GST too?

Now i'm in dilemma even lol..

1. rMBP mid 2014 I could get new at 41xx  (Pro: Better Performance, more ports, Con: Heavier?)
2. New Macbook - 43xx (Pro: Portablity, Trendy Design; Con: Poorer Permance, 1 port?)

Skipped MBA, because not retina.

main usage would be: web design / lightroom, light photoshop, internet, movie, less gaming.

any can advise? .hmmm..

Just go for the rMBP. The new MacBook not enough power for heavy work. Since rMBP is cheaper than the new MacBook.

If I want to look for external hard disk to use on both Mac and Windows. Is the WD My Passport Ultra compatible for Mac and windows ? The WD website stated need to reformat to use for Mac.. So if I want to use on windows I need to format again ?

install NTFS for Mac OS X

You can use both Windows and Mac on the same HDD

By default, your Windows NTFS formatted HDD can be read by Mac but Mac does not allow to write, with NTFS for Mac OS X, you can write back to the HDD

If you HDD is in exFAT or FAT32, you can use read and write in both Windows and Mac
*
So.. format to FAT32 or install NTFS better ?

FAT32 you are limited to 2GB files transfer, any files larger than 2GB you are not able to transfer

so it is up to you and what files you have, only you will know

the vibration feels real! Apple mentioned about having electromagnets vibrating when you click and i was expecting a noticeable artificial feedback but it felt as if it is still a mechanical trackpad(but its not). so far, the feedback will only 'vibrate' when you turn off tap to select, when u press mid-range hard, the feedback gets stronger as you apply more touch to it. my only issue with it so far is that when you tap and drag to select multiple items, it sometimes detect too much force and start previewing the file.

Where did you get your new rMBP ? blink.gif

Check what is running in the background, it probably spotlight still indexing your files and causes the lag.

I swipe up 3 fingers to Mission Control, it's not smooth when I open 3/4 windows. How can I check spotlight is open ?

Was looking for it too and found one in lelong but ... the price is way too low. I guess the seller is selling a fake muse. So be careful.

The track pad is giving you feedback when you click.. You can't differentiate it.
