Can Xcode run smoothly on Macbook 12" for non ios development?

Question

我要购买一台新的Mac Macbook 12“ 2015，我的问题是吗？它可以用于非ios开发吗，例如c ++ os x程序或其他不包含虚拟盒的东西。

Answer 1

It all depends on what you are using to code. If you are coding with light text editors like sublime or notepad++ it will be fast and snappy. Other heavier IDEs might slow it down a bit.

From my experience with it Xcode will run OK, but simulator will run noticebly slower than a MBP. Also remember that a clean compile of a big project is a heavy task, but once its done compiler only compiles small parts of the project, so compile times are very fast.

I think using the new MB as a secondary portable machine to use on the go alongside with a more powerfull machine (for heavy lifting tasks) is the perfect setup
