Going through Craigslist/eBay/Amazon, you can get a 17" MacBook Pro 2011 + 256GB SSD for about that price. Slap Ubuntu onto the 2nd partition or just wipe it completely. I personally enjoy development mobility and need to crunch data so I need the horsepower.
Alternately getting a 13" Macbook Air + a 27" LCD (Catleap/Yamasaki/Shimian or another Korean flavor) + Apple display connector works beautifully as well, having the options of mobility as well as a good home office screen.
- cmsj 14y agoThe 17" isn't what I would call portable ;) The thing is a wall of metal!
- taligent 14y agoActually you get used to it pretty quick. I regularly use it in bed for coding, surfing websites etc. I think it just looks intimidating. The best bit though is that it doubles as a breakfast tray for those Sunday morning bacon, eggs and coffee.
