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.
Using a 16GB MBP here too… With my SP13 environment, I’ve found that if I make sure that I don’t have unnecessary service apps running like Search crawls and the like, the VM performs well. Occasionally, SQL will become a memory pig and slow it down I regularly reboot it so it’s not that problematic. Anything I develop always rolls from my dev env to a more realistic staging env anyways so the dev env can be minimalistic.
Wow … what a lot of responses!
