I am writing this on a 15" Dell laptop that I bought about 8 years ago. It has served me well for everything from gaming (dedicated graphics card inside) to coding to dual booting Windows and Ubuntu.. but it is time for an upgrade.
I do like the 15inch screen size but this Dell is big and clunky. It's pretty heavy too. It's been a while since I programmed on this one because it is a bit slow now.
I have also programmed on a 10" netbook. I did a lot of programming on it but I do think it is too small.
I am trying to decide between a 13" MacBook Pro and a 15" MacBook Pro. Obvious advantages of the 15" are i7, 16GB RAM and larger screen space! The 13 inch has an i5, 8 GB RAM.
I don't have to travel with it much but I will be attending an evening course once a week until Xmas so I do have to bring it out of the house for that. Do people still carry about 15 inch laptops?
When I get my new laptop (whichever one I choose) I will be starting a new project. The project will involve lots of text analysis, neural network stuff, web crawler, database stuff (PostgreSQL), front end web stuff (python/javascript), mobile app dev (iPhone & android). So with this very brief overview, do you have any recommendations?
