You are right on all points, plus Bootcamp is a nuisance.
We live without anti-virus programs. Fatalivy, make sure you set up an administrator's account, and then a general user's account for daily use of your computer. The user account has fewer permissions and prevents things from being automatically installed on your computer.
Then keep your computer current with all of the updates. When you check for updates, you have to enter the adminstrator's ID and password.
This is the way PC users should operate too. Never use an adminstrator's account for daily computer use.
Never install or update programs from suspicious pop ups or third party pages.

I recommend testing out the keyboards in person on the 2 sizes. If you don't have an Apple store convenient to you, we have had good luck with Best Buy reps.
