Ask HN: Air for Xcode?
1 point by NarcisMirandes 1 year ago | 5 commentsI would love to have a MacBook Pro with M3 Pro chip. But is it reasonable to work with an Air M3, 512 SSD, and 16 RAM? I want to use it regularly with Xcode.
- warrenm 1 year agoWorry more about RAM than anything else
Xcode runs admirably on an M1 ... it ought to only do better on later revs of the CPU family :)
- throwaway11460 1 year agoThat laptop is several times more performant than the Intel i9 Macbook Pro. It's much more than reasonable.
- ancient_cthulhu 1 year agoDefinitely! I would get as much RAM as I can, but that's about it.
- NarcisMirandes 1 year agoThank you!
The next RAM is 24GB and +200$, is it necessary or convenient?
Is more RAM more influential than more SSD for performance in Xcode?
Is an Air spec up better than a Pro M3 Pro bàsic (512 SSD, 18 RAM)?
- throwaway11460 1 year agoRAM helps a lot for devs. Much more than a big disk, IMHO. It's not necessary but it's very convenient.
