Well honestly you don't need that fast of a PC to do coding, but then again I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to that stuff. I just make funny .bat files and mess with my teacher.

 

I'd get something with an SSD and that's fairly light, but still has a full size USB port to quickly plug and unplug iDevices you're working on.

Save the hate on Apple and just answer the question. Which MacBook would be best for Xcode and all those programming applications?

Probably pretty much any macbook or macbook pro. I don't think it's particularly intensive.

My Rig:

CPU: Intel i7 5820K @4.3 GHz; Mobo: MSI X99A SLI Plus; Cooler: Cryorig H5 Ultimate; RAM: 16GB HyperX Fury Black; GPU: MSI R9 380 4GB; Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Black w/ Window; SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 256GB and 500GB; HDD: WD Blue 1TB; PSU: EVGA 750W P2

Peripherals:

Monitor: LG 29UM57; Headset: HyperX Cloud II; Keyboard: Gamdias Hermes Mechanical; Mouse: Zowie EC2-A

not the new macbook unless you wanna buy a usb hub

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

hackintosh on laptop? If u need to get one

 

The cheapest one. (that is on they're site). Xcode is not very intensive, and anything with 4gb of ram or more can handle vm testing and that nature. 

 

BTW: NO REFURBS. THEY DONT LAST A YEAR.

I thought I had some money... Oh wait... I spent it all ;(
