Hi All, I am a window user for 10 years, and wish to give MAC a try. with my tight budget, I only got 2 choices so far, which is macbook air 256gb @ RM4999 and macbook pro retina 13'' 128GB @ RM 5099... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

can anyone give me advise how to choose, normally i use it for browsing, watching movie, adobe lightroom...

personally more to MBP, but 128GB really enough for daily usage? and the usb can be upgrade in future? Please help sifu biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Don't get the Macbook Air. Watch the video below to understand why.

If want something light, macbook 12" definitely is the choice.
