Get a used iMac. (possibly 27inches).
For IOS dev you are looking to:
- fast enough processor(s) for the compile phase (can take ages)
- a decent graphic card/ram for getting your design tool of choice to work smooth (Photoshop is a good choice but not mandatory)
- a screen as big as possible. At least for me when programming something graphic I like to have code on one side and final result on another.
If you don't have "laptop" as a mandatory feature, desktop solutions usually offer more "brutal" performances at the same price point. Imac is a bit of crossover giving the hardware involved is almost the same used in laptops.
- jemacniddle 12y agoThanks, any ideas for reliable used iMacs? There were none on the refurbished page on the Apple Store, hesitant to trust ebay.
