- avinassh 11y agoJust checked again. Customized MacBook Pros are not available in my country, i.e. India. So, how bad it will be if I go with 8GB one?
- MartinRogalla 11y agoI can't really give a comment on this, since I haven't developed on a 8GB MBP. I think you should just expect a performance decrease once you're running your VMs next to your development setup. If you run XCode with your iOS Simulator next to it, I don't think you'll notice a large performance difference.
- davismwfl 11y agoIts probably not the end of the world. I just suggest it because if you are running VM's and if you are actually doing work with them actively while still using the primary OS too it really makes a difference. For example, I will run services in a VM and then my "remote" application either in another VM or in my main OS to test. Sometimes this is to test across OS boundaries to make sure nothing funky is happening, so I need them to run reasonably decent and not be super sluggish. Having the RAM helps. So its a judgement call, if you do that 10% or less of the time, 8gb is probably totally fine. If you do it 50% of the time, then I'd rethink that personally.
