Buying a new Laptop

You would need 16GB ram on rMBP to get a smooth VM experience, btw.

I have 16GB now. I used to use a VM on a MBP with 8GB of memory and I didn't have any problem either.

"Arguing with me?" A vast majority of the threads are not started by me but people seeking meaningful advice and it's always: "Get a Mac". Regardless, once the substance-less personal attacks come out I no longer care to talk with you. I consider QN a haven where people join to promote goodness and help each other, not to promote self-agendas and call people names.
Perhaps one last piece of friendly advice: Try being nice to people. You would be surprised at how far this will carry you in life.

I thank you for your life advice but fear it's not me that needs to heed it. My advice in laptop threads such as this is absolutely fine. I give my recommendation and then leave. You're the only one who has a problem with my advice, simply because your ignorant dogma goes against my recommendation and you can't bear to let it stand.
