If im developer, should I get macbook?

[Felineaudi]

Hi there,

Typically, I work on developing web and desktop programs. However, I've been experiencing an issue with my current computer—specifically, the fan noise is extremely loud. I'm considering purchasing a MacBook Pro with the following specifications: 13.3-inch display, M2 processor with 8 CPUs and 10 GPUs, 16GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD.

I would like to know your opinion on whether I should proceed with this purchase.

No, the sound of fans should not be a deciding factor in your purchasing decisions. Only consider buying a MacBook Pro if you have at least 100 times its price in your bank account, or else opt for a Hackintosh to save some money.

Ever since I made my initial purchase of a Macbook, I have never regretted my decision. The configuration I have includes a Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor with a speed of 2.2 GHz, a total of 4 cores, and 16 GB of memory. While it serves excellently for development tasks, the storage capacity of 256GB is proving insufficient.

Once more, the focus is on your financial situation, and, above all, you should purchase within your means.

Acquiring a MacBook Pro is advisable for programming purposes.

I have a preference for using Windows when it comes to programming, mainly because HP laptops tend to generate less heat compared to MacBooks.

Without a doubt, go for a MacBook. They don't charge you just for displaying a bitten apple

Certainly, if you have the financial means, go for it. I own an M1 Max MacBook, and it runs as smoothly as an airplane. However, if you don't require that level of power, you might consider sticking to an M1/M2 Mac Mini, which is also an excellent machine (I have the M1 version).

You've got to be kidding, haha! lol
