Hi Rich, My only machine is an 11" Air (one revision old, i.e. 1.8GHz i7, 4GB RAM). I'd fully recommend it as a primary development box.
In particular, 4GB is plenty for my workload (multiple Sublime projects & shells, browsers, mail, and the rest). This is what my RAM profile looks like after a week of uptime: http://d.pr/qtmH It's a wonderful machine to cart around (it's not much heavier than an iPad) and the battery life is very good (if you watch the brightness, 3-4 hours). - Ben On 25/10/2012, at 10:26 AM, Rich Buggy <r...@zoombugmedia.com> wrote: > Hi everyone > > I'm planning to switch my development machine from Windows to Macintosh.
