Hey guys, I'm looking to get some tips on how usable the MBP 13" screen is for development tasks, running Eclipse, Xcode, or any other IDEs you may be a fan of.
I'm coming from a 2007 15" MBP, and would like to move to a smaller form factor as well as a lighter machine. The new 13" would probably do just about everything functionality-wise I'd need, and the CPU would be a real boon to my day to day tasks (this would be a personal machine, no gaming, and a decent amount of development). The only thing off-putting is the 1200x800 resolution. At that size I'm concerned about feeling really cramped in programs like TextMate and Eclipse, but I'd like to hear from any of you who have experience coding on the smaller machines how that experience has been.
At the moment I don't have a desk and have no plans on an external monitor so the laptop display would be the only one I'd use. Thanks in advance!
