I have an 11" Macbook Air from 2011 and it's been great. Went from snow leopard all the way to mavericks without a hitch. Use it mostly for web coding stacks have been Java, Python, Scala, PHP and the occasional Photoshop/Xcode. The only environment I have a hard time with was Scala just because the compiler is a bit of a beast, especially when getting a project up and running with SBT where a new artifact could be added every day or two. I ended up offloading Scala compiles to my home PC, but you could probably get a cheap VPS for the same effect. Great little machine, make sure to only use homebrew or your own source compiles and never trust the Apple shipped packages. Also go with the most storage you can afford - it's annoying to run out. |
