Hi,
I have a little problem and I hope that I find here some apple users who can help me to make the right decision.
I am a Iphone, Ipad and Apple TV user and I wanted to start developing for these devices mainly for Iphone, Ipad and Desktop.
My first choice would be a MacBook and I was undecided if I should choose a 13 or 15inch MacBook.
Of course I was aware that the Macbooks are all pretty much outdated and I really expected new hardware at the WWDC.
So Yesterday was really a shock for me and I have really no clue what to do.
My choices are all crap I can't see at the moment a good one.
1. I can pay much money for a current 13/15 macbook pro but that feels like burning money far worse would be if really a major macbook redesign happens (?September?) and they introduce really a touchbar because that would mean that I need to buy the next generation also to have "feature up to date" system for developing/testing my apps.
I could than try to sell my "old" MacBook but I really don't think that the current generation will be much worth if a major redesign happens and I assume the market will be flooded with old hardware because everyone is waiting.
2. An old refurbished one is sadly not a real option because in the german apple store I only get the german keyboard and the discounts are not really worth it. (in the german store)
3. I can go with an IMac 21,5 or 27 (the current generation is not so much outdated) but an IMac and later a 15 inch MacBook looks really duplicated.
As I said I don't really know what would be a good decision I search for a cheap system where I can !painlessly! develop apps and wait for the next MacBook Pro or a system which makes sense in combination with a later macbook pro purchase.
I hope someone has an idea, because waiting for September is not an option and who knows how long the delivery time will be.
Regards
Ruvi
