- fossuser 11y agoFrom what I've seen it's a mixture of Macbook Pro or running a Linux desktop - probably largely depends on what you're actually making.
- atemerev 11y agoI use a Mac Mini from the times it was still upgradable. Put in 2 SSDs and maxed the RAM — cheap and convenient.

- joeld42 11y agoI am primarily a Mac/iOS developer, but occasionally have to do CPU or GPU intensive stuff. I use a macbook for most of my work but have a windows desktop machine for when I need it. (Ironically, the beefy windows machine was cheaper). For example: lightmap baking. Switching between the two is annoying.
- coldtea 11y ago>Ironically, the beefy windows machine was cheaper That's logical, since Apple focuses on all other aspects of a machine than raw specs first (construction, size, weight, battery life, trackpad, screen, etc).
- ivm 11y agoLate 2012 i7 Mac Mini with 10gb RAM and manually replaced SSD is a very powerful machine. I hope Apple will release a better one this year because 2014 model lacks i7 option.
