[QUOTE="Tarek, post: 1692191, member: 68040"] I wish I lived in the USA, where electronic products are much cheaper than over here. The most basic rMB version costs well over $1800 USD where I live, and the single-port adapter costs $128 USD. I'm not a fan of Dell or Windows computers in general, if I am honest, but I am just looking to spend money on a computer that will perform really well without any lag when using the applications I've listed. Surprisingly, my '10 MBP lags quite A LOT when I am using those apps simultaneously with browsing and a lot of tabs open. Since I'm a Mac fan, I might just bite the bullet and go for the 256GB SSD version and hope for the best. From my experience, El Capitan is also a lot faster and lighter than Yosemite, which the rMB comes pre-installed with, I am assuming? And yeah, I played around with a Dell Alienware 15 R2, and although it is incredibly fast, it's also extremely heavy it felt like a laptop from the 90s, whereas the rMB almost feels like a small document; portability is, of course, important for me since my job requires me to move around with my laptop.
