Go on let’s have em, what laptops are you all running and do you recommend for SP 2013 development ? The MBP a contender (surely not)!… Is anyone surviving on 16gb ?
UPDATE! Can you also add your laptop and configuration to this list : (User “Add to List”). http://list.ly/list/73V-sharepoint-2013-laptops. If someone has the same one, just vote it up.
Don’t do it! I moved from 16GB Mackbook Pro to a 32GB Lenovo W530 and regret it now. The VMs run okay with the extra memory but the day to day usage of the machine sucks compared to using a Mac. The trackpad – oh dear god the trackpad is abominable compared to a MBP. Sure I can use a mouse and an external keyboard. But where-as I loved using my MBP I tolerate the Lenovo.
Don’t get me started on it blue screening because I had the temerity to plug a projector into the on-board VGA socket…happened twice in a customer demo.
It can get a bit crowded on a 10GB VM especially if search is running but for *most* dev I find it works fine.Â
Wow … what a lot of responses!
