Is it possible to learn programming and web programming on Macbook Air 13?

Question

Programming

Hello! I want to buy a top-end Macbook Air 13 or an old Macbook Pro 2015 with minimal settings for 2017 and I would like to know if it is possible to fully learn programming on these machines to an intermediate level? I can't work on Windows, because it irritates me with viruses and other problems, and I only used Linux at school and didn't fully understand it. Thank you for your attention!

Answer 1

learning to program

It's different after all. We have to decide. I can say that with win there will be no problems with software, etc. But on a poppy, depending on what. Your question sounds like "I want to drink, where to go?" Depending on what to drink and for what purposes. The answers will be radically different.
So buy an antivirus, it still costs less than a poppy. Or are you one of those who believe the developers that they do not exist for the poppy?
For example? Ponies not included?

Answer 2

Most of the time I develop on Windows. There were no problems with viruses. Maybe you are doing something wrong?

Answer 3

worked for a year on air with 4 GB of RAM, everything was fine, worked very fast, started using it with a 2k monitor, it already became a little harder for him, saved up, upgraded to retina.

Answer 4

Can.
The 13 inch screen is evil.
And MacOSX allows everything.
Well, that's bullshit
1. Antivirus costs a penny.
2. Viruses are introduced by the user himself. I do not install antiviruses on Win 7 and Win 10.

Answer 5

take a poppy, of course, do not be stingy, take it in the maximum configuration, without it, you can’t do anything

Answer 6

I have a friend who started learning programming on a 3.5 inch, Chinese, buggy smartphone. And I wrote my first website on it too. So this is a secondary question, what to learn from, on win or Mac. Yes, it doesn't matter. But on a poppy (if you believe the reviews of other people, I didn’t use it myself, I won’t say) it’s much more convenient and pleasant to work.

Answer 7

Yes, you can, take a mac - it's not worth saving money at the workplace.

Answer 8

Take two poppies, on one you will need to run a web server, on the other a client (browser).

Answer 9

I can’t work on Windows, because it irritates me with viruses and other problems, and I only used Linux at school and didn’t fully understand it

It is immediately clear that the person is on "you" with the computer.
Viruses are not updated by Microsoft along with Windows, that's all lies! And Windows hasn't broken on its own for a long time. And Linux has long been no more difficult to set up Windows.
Switch to "you" or you won't get very far. Do you like poppies? Take it. Anyway, when the time comes, it will not be difficult to put a normal OS on a poppy.

Answer 10

Is it possible to fully learn programming on these machines to an intermediate level?

- I sit here and think, what does this even mean ...?! Can anyone guess? I don’t ...
pysy: you can study perfectly on the previously indicated in the comments

HP 620

. Reset the OS to some kind of junk-free ... Windows or Linux, but taking into account the weak processor, then the OS will have to look at some kind of lightweight ... from Linux, maybe arch or knopix from earlier versions (up to 6.0) or something else ... only by trial and error to choose which one will not lag ....
But still, it is worth choosing an OS to set up or a piece of iron with such, taking into account what exactly to study, which the author successfully kept silent about. Not everything can be learned under Linux, you will have to raise a virtual machine with Windows or pervert under Vine. It is the same in Windows... you will have to pervert with pseudo-virtual servers for servers or emulators of those who have enough imagination for what... Well, about the apple, a separate conversation for some money.... because if there is money for apple products, then if you please pay for all the software...

Answer 11

No, you can’t study on a poppy, you can only work and show off to-give
