The Air is very light and, with the SSD, very fast. It is light computationally than other contemporary systems, but in general it's fast enough for most people that the extreme light weight wins out. I wouldn't recommend it as a primary development machine, though - for that, the regular MacBook is a better choice. If you replace a MacBook's HD with an SSD, it's much faster than the Air, but significantly heavier. I currently have a MacBook Pro that is my everyday development machine, and an iPad that I use for meeting, taking notes, and other light computational tasks. Most people I know aren't developers, so I can't see why they would need anything more than an iPad today. But for a dev machine, a MacBook Pro is the minimum system I would recommend. -- Ed Leafe [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
