I am a iOS developer and have mainly used MacBook Pro's at work. I had a old MacBook Pro with smaller screen size which I had purchased in 2012 or 2013, but I am unable to upgrade it to any new OS version and is extremely slow, so thinking of buying a new one but also in money saving mode at the current moment.
I can use my company laptop to learn anything new in iOS and my company does support that, but I am planning to start looking for other work opportunities and may start interviewing soon for which I need a new laptop. Having used MacBook for many years now, I would like to stick to MacBook with 15+ screen and sometimes develop lighter apps for learning purposes.
I haven't used MacBook Air's before, but looks like if I buy a MacBook Air with higher configuration, I may save some $$$$ and can still get a bigger screen. Has anyone used it for developing apps? I am talking about smaller apps and nothing major that I plan to publish to app store.
I am confused between:
MacBook Air - https://www.bestbuy.com/product/15-...e-gpu-24gb-memory-1tb-ssd-midnight/JJGCQLKHZ5
MacBook Pro - https://www.bestbuy.com/product/16-...ore-gpu-24gb-memory-1tb-ssd-silver/JJGCQLZQRQ
I am leaning more towards MacBook Air so I can save some money, but wanting to know if it's good for iOS app development (i.e. install all the development tools) and streaming movies/show.
Thanks in advance!
