Great write up, I like the simplicity and the common structure that allows for easy comparison. Would be nice in a chart view, but oh well.
The issue I face is that I need XCode and therefore need an Apple product. Currently using a mid 2010 MBP and was hoping for a good upgrade this round but don't have $3000 to spend. So I'll likely be looking at the used market.
- virmundi 10y agoDo you need a laptop? I know that I prefer a laptop, but I don't really need a laptop. Could you get a Mac desktop and remote into it? It might be cheaper and more powerful even when including the cost of the other machine.
- giarc 10y agoI was thinking about that actually. I like the portability of a laptop (working on couch, at table, back deck etc). I think I need to test it out a bit as my wife would also like a new laptop. Perhaps an iMac or mac mini in the basement would work well. Is it preferrable to use an apple product to remote into another apple product, or could I get a Windows/Chrome/Linux laptop and still remote in?
- hedgehog 10y agoA refurb might work for you, $1700 for a 2015 15". During my consulting years I bought refurbs for my main laptop because then you get a less expensive machine with all of the weird driver and software support issues worked out. http://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_pro/15 http://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbo...
