I had been hoping against hope for updated laptops at the late March event, but no dice. I would wait to buy, but I need a machine for App Builders Switzerland in Lugano in less than 2 weeks.

The only laptops I’ve used since mid-2012 are 15” retina MacBook Pro’s (most recent being the late 2013 revision), but those were always primary machines. The 12” should be interesting.

I settled on a 12” MacBook, m3/256 GB SSD/16 GB RAM as secondary travel machine. Hoping I can get away with the lesser storage because it will not be my primary (iMac).

I need to pick up a laptop as a travel Xcode machine. My iMac will remain my daily driver, so I think 12” MacBook is fine. But which CPU? Is faster CPU worth the reduced battery life? Also wondering if 256 GB is large enough.

It’s weird being back in Edinburgh after 28 years. I spent my junior year of college studying mathematics here.

We dubbed our hotel bathroom “The James Bond Suite” after the Sean Connery James Bond decor!
