   How did you get 16gb RAM on an Air? I only saw the option for 8.

   Darn! I think I'm good for now, though, as I don't use VMs, PhotoShop, and I use .md files for all my documents, so I never have Office installed (though I have a license). What CPU does yours have? I bought the i5 Haswell.

   Yeah. I'm totally okay without Retina, though it does look pretty sweet, and I currently don't have a use for an external monitor - I'll need to see the Air in person before I make the decision to buy. :)

   I kind of figured that, but I have almost no pictures and definitely no videos. Is it possible to upgrade the SSD after purchase?

   +1 for ST3!

   Great suggestions! If you're going to be using Mongo, I highly recommend RoboMongo.

   +1 for a fellow Ubuntu user. I currently don't have a use for a VM, as I just deploy to a staging server after local testing, but I'll keep those in mind!

   Okay. I'll try it out, but no promises. ;)

   Great post. I totally agree with analogous environments, and that's the reason I'm keeping my Ubuntu laptop. I do move around quite a bit, and my current computer only has 6gb RAM and an i3, so they're both upgrades, and I us

    No - There's nothing wrong with it. But they have to continue to release builds at least or operating systems may not support it without using a VM and an older version of the OS. That's my main concern at the moment.

    Hmm... I really do hope they start up again. It's by far my most used application and it'd kill me to find another editor I like as much as it. I have tried Atom in the past, but it just felt "thin" and "flimsy&qu

    Do you have any experience running a VM from an external drive? Is there a significant speed decrease from an internal SSD?

    The order already shipped, but I have an array of flash drives and most of my files are online.

    Wow! Great to hear! I just wanted to be sure I had a buffer in the event I ever needed to edit a longer video or wanted to do some 3D work in Blender.

    Thanks, Devin! Bookmarked. Sad to hear about SublimeText. It's a really good project in my opinion, but I have to agree with you.

    Sweet! Battery life on my existing laptop sucks, and Ubuntu is a power hog. As noted, I'm getting a 8gb version, but are you finding 4gb is enough?

    by NoahBuscher 12y ago

    Awesome! My current computer is a BEAST (in terms of size - definitely not power), so portability will be pretty new to me.

    Awesome! That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

    Neat perspective. I'll have to wait to compare it to my existing laptop (15.6 inches).

    Vagrant looks awesome! I'll totally get that. I currently use SublimeText (been using it for about a year or so), as I'm just so used to it, and I've already forked over the money. When ST 4 comes around, I'll totally lo

    Thanks for the awesome suggestions! I'll look into monitors. Can I ask what Homebrew is? I've seen it on GitHub, but I'm a bit confused. Is is comparable to apt-get?

    Awesome! Thanks. I already have SublimeText and have been using it for a while, so I believe I'll continue to do so on the Mac.

    I really enjoy NodeBB's source code.
