Should I take a MacBook air 13 for layout?

Question

macbook

Actually, I saved up a little money and decided to buy myself a new laptop. There was a choice between 2 models: MacBook air 13 or MacBook pro 13 retina, both in the minimum configuration, but you still have to save up and save up for the firmware. I need a laptop for layout and stuff like that. Who already has it, how do you like it, your eyes do not get tired, is it comfortable?

Answer 1

In my subjective opinion, a monitor with a diagonal is needed for layout (here Armenian Radio spreads its arms in the "fisherman's gesture"). In order not to arrange flickering from windows (code <-> browser), but simply to look from one to another.

Answer 2

You can take it, but I advise you to buy another 21: 9 monitor.

Answer 3

I am also completely for the monitor with Diagonal! That year I changed the monitor and, before the old one went to the country, I worked with two for a month - you quickly get used to the good! On one code, and on the other site and photoshop - very convenient! So they were 24 each, and here 13 ... a matter of taste and habit, of course!

Answer 4

The diagonal is 17" for layout.
Di and the machine are more powerful.

Answer 5

It is not very convenient for layout, as it was already mentioned here, it is necessary to work in several windows. I have a good 13 inch beech, but for layout I use an old HP with a 17 inch screen. Wouldn't settle for anything less.
If you work in the subway, on the road, etc. where it is not possible to deploy a larger beech, then this is another matter.

Answer 6

It's not about the size, but about the resolution, FullHD and much more

Answer 7

Air has an antediluvian display, I'm afraid you'll regret it. Save up for Pro Late 13, albeit at a minimum. Enough for the eyes. Unless buy a monitor later.

Answer 8

If there is a monitor, then why not?

Answer 9

AIR has a poor screen. Eyes hurt. Small corners. The colors are flat. In general, I had it - I sold it.
The plans are to take a firmware from 2011-2012 so that you can upgrade, etc. + external monitor 27. In the poppy you code, in the monitor you look at the result.
