Ive been on the fence about this, with my last two years of schooling coming up, i really don't want to carry any books, most of which I'm able to find online. I also have to commute across the bay which takes 90min, can't leave shit in my car because there is no locked trunk (if i don't take BART) This 2009 15in literally is the only 15in macbook no to have video card issues released in the last 10 years? But the downside is that its heavy. Okay so that leaves 2-3 options realistically. Retina Macbook nice screen, light weight, downside the keyboard is really small, fingers become cramped, computation power might become an issue, although a deeper dive into the benchmarking might give insight into that. 15in Retina, Screen+ , Speed+, Power+, Cost(---): seriously these 15in computers are baller, but i can buy another car for the price of this computer..... iPad Pro + Virtual OS X host - get to have something light weight, easy to do things with (read,code,surf,roll blunts), downside can't always be online unless getting cellular, VNC might be destroying data caps, memory also becomes problematic, as well as what the author stated which was broken workflows with documents.... Anyone have input to this? What works for y'all?
