Hello,
I'm thinking about buying a MacBook Air to be mobile. I'm mainly working on web development, needing to run a local PHP & Python webserver, mySQL and maybe MongoDB.
Has anyone experience about the performance of IntelliJ IDEA 14 on a MacBook Air in such a constellation

- 13"
- i5 1.4GHz
- 4GB
- 128SSD
I think that the main show stopper would be 13" and 128SSD?
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
yours
Michael

Hi Michael,

I'm on ASUS with i5 on 2.0GHz, 4GB RAM and 128 GB SSD.
Using IDEA for web as well, it works very fast and stable, although the web project is quite small.

I would say that only the small screen would be problem, although I already got accustomed to using IDEA's "View Full Screen" option.
You can consider attaching MacBook to a bigger second monitor.

Hope that helps,
Ivaylo
