Hi all,
I'm interested in buying an macbook pro '13. I never had a macbook before but have used OSX before.
Just a few questions:
I'm looking at this spec specifically
- Would that be okay for remoteing into work occassionally? Maybe once every two months ?
- Would it be okay to run software like webstorm, as well doing some programming, I believe I'll be doing some server side programming soon, so won't be dealing with heavy UI stuff so don't need to be dealing with heavy graphics or anything like that.
-not interested in photoshop or any video / photo editing software. May do a slight touch up once in a blue moon but otherwise I won't be doing anything like that.
I do have a desktop at home, so I would rather 13' over the 15' have the portability as well as the ability to do some work if I'm out of the house.
Does it seem okay or overkill ? - I won't be replacing the MBP after I buy it in a few years anyway so want as long lifespan as possible.
I'm going over this rather than air because I'm assuming this
won't be enough for my needs?
Thanks in advance
