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.
Agree, sure. Let’s put ReSharper in place to kill the performance at all 🙂
Anyway, I am just suggesting that it is quite interesting and nice to claim running a good, proper environment on the laptop so most of the topic doesn’t ring a bell or any sense at all. Really.
Yeahh, Office Web Apps are required to be installed on separate server as it is no more just an service application in sharepoint 2013. Also, development environment can be very specific to what we are looking to do. Say, if we would like to develop apps which are provider hosted, developers do need separate VM with IIS running to deploy and test the apps with cross server authentication but if we are doing sharepoint hosted apps, It should be fine just to have visual studio on single server.
Im in the process of building out a lab on Azure – In the US they give $150 monthly credits to MSDN subscribers and I think CPU time is $0.06/core/hour.
The good thing is you can have a pretty extensive lab, lots of ram, CPU cores, VM’s.
The only down side is that you have to shut the machines down using the Azure control panel when not in use or the $150 gets used up pretty quickly.
Also, adding workflow/office web apps/search, which better be separated, well.. still laptop? Visual studio for the developers, huh 🙂
Looks awesome!
So, either laptops hardly make any sense with those configurations/requirements or people who claim to use laptops hardly know what are they doing at all 🙂
Wow … what a lot of responses!
