Which Mac is best for iOS development?

Question

macbook

Hello! Doing iOS development on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) 2.3 GHz 2-core Intel Core i5, 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3.
On large projects Xcode + simulator + browser (a monitor is also connected), the laptop starts to slow down wildly and get warm, the project is going to take a very long time. I constantly clean the Xcode cache and other garbage, but it does not help. I decided that it was time to change the laptop, but I can’t decide on which one. Is it worth taking a budget MacBook or Mac Mini with 8 GB of RAM on the m1?

PS I saw a lot of such questions, but they are already outdated

Answer 1

if you can afford 16, take 16.
and mini if ​​you don't really need mobility.
but 8 gig machines are also fire. Intel with 8 gigs and did not stand next to it.
