Ask HN: Macbook Pro or Air for web development
Hey hackers
I would like to hear yours opinions about if you should buy the macbook pro or air? We are talking 13"
I am a little bit split:
The air has a bigger screen resolution - 13"
They have the same graphics
There is a difference of .7 Ghz between. It is that big a difference?
The Air has a clearly faster I/O with the SSD.
What do you think?
- mmphosis 15y agoThe MacBook Air is my personal preference. Your points, all seem to point to the Air except for the .7 Ghz, >There is a difference of .7 Ghz between. It is that big a difference? no.
- Kevindish 15y agoI think i choose the air. Thanks for your advice!
- _pius 15y agoHaving used both, I strongly recommend the Air. It's more than capable of being one's primary machine for web development and the difference in portability and daily speed is dramatic.
- Kevindish 15y agoI have choosen the macbook air, thanks :)
- jurre 15y agoGot my air a couple of months ago and got rid of my desktop last month. The air is all I use now and I love it.
- Kevindish 15y agoI think i am going for the air. It is so much prettier! :p
- friggeri 15y agoI had pretty much the same dilemma six months ago, finally I went with the 13" Macbook Pro w/ 8Gb RAM and 512Gb SSD. It changed my day to day life (but I also need my machine to do some heavy data crunching while on the go, so the slower processor was a major no for me).
- Kevindish 15y agoI would also do the same thing, but i do not have that much money in my own company at this point :) Thanks for your view!
