Hello everyone!😁

Is a M1 (8gb RAM, 256gb storage) 13" macbook air good enough for coding?

This will be my first macbook, so I don’t know yet how I’ll like it. Would it run Linux (maybe Windows too) aside from ios? I’ve heard that it needs some workarounds. Would there be limitations running Linux?

🙂

    If it’s possible, get a 16 gb RAM model. It’s faster and won’t cause you any issues.

    Coding is a slippery slope. One day you want to code something basic, the next day you end up building something complex and demanding to the resources.

    By the way, I was in your shoes and I got 8 gb one. I regretted having acquired such a slow model when I took up coding.
