    Don’t buy a intel Mac period. If your buying a MacBook in 2023 or later very important get one with at least a M1 chip

    • @ardentlytech
      @ardentlytech  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I agree, When I made this, the M2 was just announced, but now with M1 MacBooks becoming more and more affordable, that should be where people look first! If that’s still too expensive, then a more recent intel can still work for some people with lighter work flows.

    Which MacBook version should I get for coding

    • @ardentlytech
      @ardentlytech  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have a few friends who are coding with their intel based MacBooks still and having little to no issues. I’m not well versed in what it takes for computers to code well but I’m sure the M1,M2 and M3 MacBooks would be able handle that well. But you may not need them necessarily. Thats just my guess! Hope that helps and sorry for the late reply

      Doesn't matter the model. As long as it's not too old that it cannot run modern dev tools and it has enough ram, it's good enough.
      If you're doing mobile applications development which requires runing simulations on your machine, get the newest model you can afford. If you're just doing some casual web dev or simple desktop apps, an older model with 16gbs of ram is the best choice.
      Speaking from my exprience, a 15" 2015 macbook pro with 16gbs of ram is a lot better than a 13" 2017 macbook pro with only 8gbs of ram.
      Even then, you should still consider windows laptops unless you're an IOS dev.

    • @ardentlytech
      @ardentlytech  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m not 100% positive of how rigorous those animation software are but I would suppose you could find a lot of benefit with some of the M1 macs. The M3 were recently announced and that might make M1 macs a bit more affordable especially if refurbished/ used. Not sure how well intel based MacBooks would handle animation. Thats just my guess tho!
