Pythonic Code and best laptop to code with

I was looking at a book called "Writing Idiomatic Python" by Jeff Knupp and I was wondering if there would be sessions that teaches the "Pythonic" way of writing code?

Another unrelated question is that I plan on buying a macbook to get further into web development. I'll probably be focused on Python with Django framework and Java later. For a beginner programmer, which Macbook should I go with (Macbook Air, Macbook Pro 15) and what system configuration should I go with?

I've actually been working on (filmed, even) a course on writing better (idiomatic) Python. So that's definitely coming.

Python has pretty low requirements. I've known many Python programmers that use nothing but a MacBook Air. Many that even only use the 11" model.

Thank you both for your responses!

And it even runs on the RaspberryPi :)
