It all depends on the type of work you do. I work on the latest top of the line macbook pro issued by work as well, and for me it's too slow. Running the company's php app along with all the other dependencies like MySQL/Redis/etc takes a significant amount of resources. All development is done locally on the dev laptops, bugs are reproduced and fixed on local dev laptops. At this point I almost wish that my laptop was a terminal so that I could have access to more resources like RAM (currently at 16 GB).
- ivanhoe 8y agoExactly the reason why we've started setting up remote (in-house) servers for devs - for the cost of the latest MBP you can buy a server machine with tons of ram that will run all you services super smooth with any old laptop that can run your editor.
- blub 8y ago32GB of RAM is top for the MBP, not 16. Edit: OP said he had the latest top of the line. Latest, top of the line has 32.
- pjmlp 8y agoOnly for the new models.
- computerex 8y agoOh sweet, I am gonna ask for an upgrade then. Thanks for the info.
