Question

macbook

Hello everyone, I ask you to give recommendations on the purchase of a used device from what year can you start picking up so as not to feel flawed, air will not pull? about with a retina, but which one?

Answer 1

I don’t quite understand why you need Retina? For example, I successfully use Air 13 "2014, exactly like Macbook Pro 2016, and iMac 2015. So it's a question of what you like more. I would opt for MB PRO, because it is more versatile and you can do many other tasks on it.If the device is intended only for programming and surfing the Internet, then you can save and buy Air - it is smaller, lighter and more convenient.And it is easier to take it with you, putting it in your bag. Personally, I and I do.IMHO.

Answer 2

Macbook Pro Retina 13" late 2014 and higher (with 8GB of RAM).
For Xcode, as a general rule, you need a fast processor, a lot of RAM and an SSD.
