That's a decent machine, but amusingly the Macbook Air has more ports and potentially a better keyboard. Depending on your actual needs, the 13" MBA may be quite sufficient for $500 less.
I wouldn't really want it as a primary computer if you're only doing iOS development, but as an ultraportable that can run Xcode, sure.
- gxs 10y agoAgree to disagree I guess. I always buy hubs/docking stations anyway - you can run 2 5k displays off that tiny macbook (don't think you can with the MBA, could be wrong) and thunderbolt has good speed for all your peripherals. For me personally the deal killer is the touchpad and aspect ratio. PC touchpads are still mechanical and you still have to click on the bottom 2/3rds of the pad to get a crisp click. Similarly, there is only one 16:10 pc laptop out there that I know of which is the surface book. A nice machine, but I personally don't like the detachable/touch screen stuff yet.
