Chris for using the more recent Xcode assuming you're going to work in that for either OS X or iOS code, you're going to need a 64bit mac. I recently had to upg for that reason. I got a really clean late 2009 early 2010 MBP 15inch with 8gig ram for 600 on ebay. I was finding I needed to spend btw 4 and 6. Below that you will prob run in to hw probs to fix. I had been using a first gen MBP 17 inch which has been great and still is for my music needs I just hit a wall with the directions I'm going in dev. Glad you are crossing over a bit :) Jim On 4/7/13, TripleOhNine <3x09@carlsonarts.com> wrote: > I have had pretty good luck finding systems on Craigslist, but always do > all > of your business in a public place anonymously if you can. also, it's > generally worth it if you can find a mac with some applecare warranty > left > on it in case something goes wrong. > > Michael > On Apr 7, 2013, at 10:33 AM, cpr@musetrap.com wrote: > >> Turns out my Mac Mini is toooo old to be useful for software development >> (ie.
