Hello i m new to this forum and i hope this is the right place for this question.
I want to buy my first mac book and the 2017 models i think are the right ones.
My use case scenario is this.
I m doing a master in software engineering and i want a laptop for doing development outside my work-space.
I have a good PC in my office but i need something to study,code or use it for a potential job where i have to go to a client and do some work there.Currently i m doing java and android studio but i ll would like to start developing ios apps. From all the stuff i do the most heavy procedure is android emulator so i would need a mac to run it smoothly (i would really need an answer based on that). Also, do u find touch-bar useful in development? can u put some shortcuts there or something else ?
I m gravitating towards the 13inch with reduced price but i find 128gigs to be really small . so maybe 13inch with 256 8gigs of ram i5cpu nontouchbar ? Also i m really worried about screen size would 13" be enough? also what about new 12"macbook smaller form factor is always tempting even though screen is 12"
thanks in advance
