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?

🙂

    I definitely wouldn’t go with less than 16 GB. I have 32 myself, but that’s for professional work on a rather heavy project.

    Also if you plan to run Windows/Linux, well, you’ll need more RAM for virtual machines.

    A bigger screen is also very useful, but it’s a tradeoff and not absolutely necessary.
