I run XCode on a Dell Mini 9 with Mac OS X. It has the expected tradeoffs: the keyboard is tiny, resolution too. But it's amazing how fast it feels die to the SSD. I simultaneously hate the keyboard for putting the quote key elsewhere, and am impressed that I can mostly adapt to this.
- sunkencity 16y agoI bought a small netbook Acer one, but couldn't really do anything with it because typing suffered on the too small keyboard, so I gave it to my daughter. Really looking forward to getting a 11" macbook air to have as the computer to bring when going away for weekends or travelling. Hate lugging the 15" MBP everywhere, it takes too much space and is heavy (although it's a pretty powerful machine).
