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.
Agreed but then I personally had a W530 with 32GB and a 512GB Crucial M4 inside it. This new Retina Macbook Pro I have still wiped the floor with it, even with the VM running 8 or 10GB vs the 16 I was giving it on the Lenovo. Biggest difference is the PCI express attached storage. it is insanely fast.
There is little real world difference in the speed of processors between w520 and w530. These machines have always been more IO bound than processor bound in general.
Wow … what a lot of responses!
