Thank you so much. I’ll also make sure to watch the event and return the laptop if something better comes up 👍
Edit: typo
Thank you so much for your feedback. I sold my PC a year ago and I still have a really good quality monitor, so now (after checking the price-performance) I’m tempted to go for a Mac Mini - 24GB RAM & 512GB storage.
Do you think the M2 Pro chip upgrade cost is justified for xcode, or is the normal M2 fine? Due to my budget, I would have to bump it down to 16GB of RAM. For programming this seems counterintuitive imo, as everyone praised the M1 for its speed.
Thoughts?
