What to choose for programming under ios (budget and options attached)?
Good day.
Not so long ago I decided that it would be time to change the hardware, since I really missed my macbook pro mid 2010 from the moment of purchase (I bought it about a year ago), but I wanted to feel Xcode and OS X.
Choice with a budget of 25 000 UAH. (~ 58,000 rubles) is not so big, so in fact you have to choose between:
1) iMac late 2013 21.5", with somewhere in the middle configuration.
2) Macbook pro late 2013 15", well, somewhere the configuration is also higher average.
3) iMac 2015 21.5", MK142 or MK442, in fact, it doesn't really matter, as far as I understand, in the minimum configuration. Do not be confused, this is not a 4k version, 4k is MK452.
4) Macbook early 2015 13", also somewhere in the minimum (I myself tend more to all 3 from the top than to this one, since geekbench shows a significant difference in performance, but I'll add it just in case).
What would you choose? If there is if the option is better than one of those above, I would also be glad to hear your opinion.Mobility does not really matter to me, in the case of laptops, weight too.I also do not discard options that are not much more expensive than those proposed, so those too Thank you in advance
PS I'm not considering Hackintosh at the moment due to the lack of a monitor, in the end I'll assemble at best the same hardware as above, but with a screen several times worse and crap in terms of installing the system.

imac 2013 was almost the top one for me, I changed it for the new year, it no longer pulled on my tasks. now the top imac 2015 5k, if the budget allows, take it, macbook 2015 is good, but 13 inches is not enough for development as for me. I also advise mac mini, though 2011-2014, so that you can upgrade.
Why not consider a MacMini with an SSD and a good IPS monitor? Optimal config for development.
