This may be the laziest question yet on HN. Opening the main page of the Apple Store (http://store.apple.com/us http://store.apple.com/us) immediately tells you what is the cheapest mac: Mac Mini at $599 -- and from your question, it seems you already knew the Mac Mini existed. Is that so hard to figure out by yourself?
- smg 18y agoSorry I am incapable of comparing numerical quantities and figuring out which one is larger.
- Elepsis 18y agoI don't agree at all. Sure, I can find out what the cheapest possible mac is easily, but how is it as a development machine? Is it powerful enough to deal with all the involved apps? How is the overall user experience from the dev side? Do you wish you had paid more and gotten a MacBook? For that matter, maybe I should go on ebay and buy a used, older generation Mac instead? Being satisfied with your development environment is about more than quantitative considerations. Asking this sort of question in a place where a lot of Mac-using developers congregate is lazy? I don't think so.
