Hi all,

I was deciding on 13" 128G/256G, I never use Mac before and would really like to understand more before I make my purchase.

I keep a PC for main (for now) but will do a lot of work in the laptop (school/work), I use MB to calculate my song usage and will only store my occasional photo/video on laptop temporary (until I store them to my external HDD)

Understanding some of the answer would help me decide which size SSD I should get, so here are some of my questions...

1) Parallel and VMWare, I read posts about them (pro/con, this vs that)but for a guy who never use VM before sometime it doesn't make too much sense. So for those who use either/both, what are some of the perks that make u like using it, or keep using it?

2) VM vs boot camp, I understand VM demand more resources, but is there any other benefit using boo camp instead of VM?

3) Those of you who switch from PC, do you find yourself shifting the workflow (or workload) to your new air?

4) I am trying to get the 128G but would worry space is an issue when using VM or boot camp, thoughts?

Thanks ahead for your responds!
