I'm doing frontend (react) on a MacBook Pro 15' late 2008 (8go ram, SSD) plugged to a 27' monitor.
Code editor on the Mac screen, terminals, web browsers and Slack on the external monitor. No external keyboard nor mouse.
I'm also looking to get a new machine: I would love to hear the feedback of owners of MBP 15' with touchbar. My dilemma: get a 2015 version or 2016 with touchbar?
- itbeho 10y agoI received a maxed out 2016 15" MBP on Tuesday and so far am happy with it. The ESC key (or physical lack thereof) was only a mild irritant at first and I've already adapted.
- scottwhudson 10y agoThe keyboard on the new MBP is an improvement from the new MacBooks, but it still doesn't feel as good as the keyboard from the 2013 MBPs IMO. On the other hand, the larger trackpad is fantastic and makes a big difference when browsing, etc. The touchbar is a wash for me, not having a real ESC is kinda weird, but it's not a deal-breaker for me (although I don't use terminal-based editors often.) The biggest frustration for me is the dongles, I have to carry around 4 of them in order to maintain my workflow and device connectivity. I get the argument that Apple is nudging us forward on this, but they sacrificed a lot of usability and convenience in getting rid of the current gen ports, and I notice this daily.
