I am using a mid 2012 MBP for development and it is great. Kind of amazing that almost 4 years later it still a powerful laptop.

My 2010 would still be a good development machine if it weren't for the defective video card that causes kernel panics. And the grinding fan.

I wonder what the Macbook would be like as an IntelliJ machine. 8GB of RAM is good, and the screen coaxed into native resolution mode has lots of real estate. But how would the CPU hold up? Especially during full Maven builds...
