Hi All,
I have been following this list for a long time so figure this is a great place to ask.
I'm trying to get a new computer for Java/Scala development to replace an old iMac. I would like to get a laptop but they are a bit pricey so I'd consider and iMac or Mini. Two questions to help narrow my selection.
- Is 8GB memory ok or do you recommend 16?
- Is an SSD drive like on the Macbook Pro a big advantage for compilation over an iMac or Mini?
Any help appreciated.
Eric
