Imac 21 or macbook pro 13 for development in XCode?

Question

macbook

Greetings!
Colleagues, tell me - what is better and more productive for xcode development - macbook 13 pro retina (available now) or new imac 21?
With a laptop, the screen in xcode began to be missed - you have to constantly minimize something, either the console or the properties panel. I connected an external screen - somehow everything looks bad on it (
I'm looking at imac 21 - tell me a normal choice? Now I've watched many develop on laptops. Does anyone even program on aimaks?

Answer 1

Well, my dear, of course, with a 27-inch iMac, you will certainly be 23% more productive than with a 21-inch one. But the top Macbook Pro 17-inch, they say, gives incredible sensations: self-confidence, masculinity, clarity of being becomes so incredible that you sometimes feel like your beard and chest hair are literally starting to grow. In a word, it's breathtaking.

Answer 2

I use 27 iMac - for screen development even in excess.
I work mostly with JetBrains, Vim and a bunch of consoles. For the latter, perhaps a large screen is a plus.
But it happens that there is also not enough space, for any windows)
I also had a screen shortage syndrome) On a 15ke laptop.
And with additional I experimented with the monitor, did not take root.
Now I think that 15shka is quite a working option.
Get 21 iMacs.
By the way, I'm very nostalgic for Ubuntu)

Answer 3

I started at 13", the screen is really small. Now mac mini (4GB of memory immediately changed to 16) + native keyboard + touchpad (weight) + Logitech camera with microphone + Dell 24" (with DisplayPort). Grabs the eyes. iMac after all for a professional video-photo.
