Computer

What is the best computer to program on? I mean the very best. I have heard Xidax, but I did a lot of research and Xidax computers are design for gaming rigs.

Hello Darren,

I can happily recommend MacBook Pros and ROG Gaming desktops. I've been using these for all types of software development with no problems.

I hope this helps.

I would imagine that the best is whatever you feel comfortable with. I program both on a PC and a MacBook Pro and enjoy it on both pretty equally.

Question, what is your purpose for the computer? Do you have a budget? Mac's are necessary if you what to design Macintosh or IOS programs. I prefer a Windows computer because it is cheaper to get and I can do most functions just fine.
