I do use the function keys occasionally in cross-platform development tools like gitk, but I'm sure that other keybindings can be substituted and I'd be able to deal with that.īut the lack of RAM beyond 16 GB pretty much means there's no reason for me to upgrade from my 3 year old laptop. The escape key issue doesn't bother me as much, but I'm not a Vim user and I already have Caps Lock mapped to escape or control depending on whether it's a modifier or not.
That's cumbersome and doesn't work well when I'm on the road in places with flaky connectivity (I travel a lot, as I work remotely and come into the office, so being able to do all of my work on my laptop would be a big win). My current laptop has 16 GB of RAM, and I frequently need more to run all of the VMs that I need, so I wind up having to use my workstation with has 32 GB of RAM, and just connect to that remotely when I'm on my laptop. As a developer, I frequently run a large number of VMs at once. But the lack of more than 16 GB of RAM is a serious problem. The processor speed is less important to me. And Im really not sure what else you could really want out of a laptop then. But apple fanboys will keep buying it and either stop using vim just so they can keep using apple or buy an external keyboard. I imagine this is not a great developer's laptop. I need multiple monitors and an external keyboard to get anything done, so I typically use a desktop, and then use a lightweight laptop (basically a chromebook) to remote into the desktop if I absolutely need to be mobile.Īlso, "What other people are saying" and then listing 4 anecdotal quotes seems pretty uncompelling. Personally I think this is a terrible decision, but then again, I think using a laptop keyboard for programming is a terrible decision too. Id much rather see a processor comparison graph here). (I will agree that theyve been going with lower and lower power to allow for better battery life, this is a terrible way to make the comparison. I thought we got over comparing processors purely by their clock speed a long time ago. Anything new in 2016? Not really, well… nope."īecause a 2010 2.4ghz dual core is identical to a 2016 2.4 ghz dual core.

"The MacBook Pro had options with 2.4 gigahertz dual-core processors back in 2010. I would say the author clearly knows very little computer specs:
