I've seen a few dozen threads on this subject and know most of the pro's and cons between the two, but with the recent updates I was wondering if the 11" would be a good choice as a portable programming computer. I love the size and the resolution, but without the extra power, backlit keyboard, and edge to edge glass I'm not sure if I should go that path. I'll be updating to a more powerful notebook, or maybe an iMac when I get into that heavily.įirst, I am going to be exchanging out my MBP this weekend due to dead pixels (14 days per Best Buy) and I have been really interested in the Macbook Air recently. I might be looking into programming for the iOS and Mac apps, but that isn't going to be very extensive.

SCII, maybe WoW if some of my friends keep forcing it down my throat. C++, JavaScript, PHP, a few other basic programs. The notebook is going to be used for a few programming classes. I do have a powerful desktop with Windows/Linux installed for the majority of my bigger programs, gaming, etc. I recently picked up a 13" base MBP and I'm a little curious if any other CS majors, or anyone related in the workforce, could give me some advice on a few things. Hello all, I'm a few years into college now and have most of my gen.
