Put me down under number 1.
I'm dreading buying anything from Apple, but I need to compile my React Native app.
I keep waiting for old generation macs to enter the used market to drive down prices. Hopefully I can snag a used one, compile once, and forget about the experience.

- mkirklions 8y agoStill absurdly expensive, but this might be a solution. I could use a friends unused mac.... Thank you for the idea, I seriously didnt consider that.
- sscotth 8y agoThat's $70/month for 2014 hardware (dual core no ssd), or $120 if you need a quad core or ssd. Prices for the new hardware haven't yet been announced. Either way, if they keep their same pricing, there's a 12 month break even of buying your own hardware if you don't need to be on a data center backbone.
- ralmidani 8y agoGood points. Do you know anyone who offers a Digital Ocean type of service where you can quickly spin up a machine and pay by the hour? May be useful for people who only need a machine occasionally to compile an app for iOS.
