What kind of testing do you do with this?

How much money the VC is willing to waste

[Ianvdl]

96(!) macbooks, 3D printing and thermal imaging. I think you're spot on.

This made my day. Unfortunately, it's probably accurate...

Meh, you could resell them and get most of your money back.

Ah nice, thank you.

They have tons of customers using this setup (Matlab on Macbook Pro) in my uni at least, so it makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for this.

Now i feel the OP's usage justified

An answer to this would be great. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to stop thinking about that question for a while.

For many people that need to develop, test, and deploy on Mac hardware they're doing iOS app or OS X development.

For example, you may have a macbook pro, but it's not powerful enough to run tests in a few minutes while you do other work on it at the same time. In this case, you'd want another Mac like a Mini, Pro or Xserve to send jobs to.

Anyone using X Code has to run it on a Mac and often, you're wasting precious development time when your jobs are taking up your Macbook's processing power for an hour while it tests your latest build.

Travis-CI, the continuous integration platform, will send your jobs to a cloud of Mac servers when they require OS X to build against.
