None at all. Save the $700. You don't need to spend it now unless it's literally on fire and burning your hands. Learn to save. You'll be glad you have money piled up when you leave the family nest. It's a tough world. Have an old desktop? Use it. "Portable" and "development" are contradictory terms anyway. No desktop? Find a cheap/used/refurb one, $200 tops. Web development has one of the smallest demand on CPU power; you'll be just fine with an old desktop, you'll learn how to manage computing resources efficiently, and that will make you better at your trade. You're just 17... you have decades of learning ahead of you. Learn to drive the family car properly before you allow yourself to crave for a race car. Unless you just want a shiny toy to look cool at Starbucks, and don't care if it's a worthless piece of junk in a year or two. In which case, yeah, Apple.
