Hi there,
I am considering buying a Macbook but I am kind of torn because I am not sure I can justify the price. I am planning on using it to get started with Xcode development, and I would like to do Java development in Eclipse and have a Windows 7 partition to run Visual Studio as well. Do you think it would be able to handle these tasks reasonably well? Is it easy enough to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB after a while? I would really like to get the Macbook for portability reasons and connect it to a monitor when working at home.
I know I would be able to get a slightly better specced PC for less money, but I am thinking of 'switching' to Mac development, and I thought the above setup may help me to do that without breaking the bank...
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Martijn
