    Nope, but if you can afford it and want to get one who is anyone to tell anyone different? ;)

    U need Linux

    If it runs Linux, I'll code on it.

    I have a Macbook Pro sitting on my desk. I use it only when clients complain about Safari and retina stuff. I can't do anything on it. I have Synergy just so I can use my main keyboard on it. And, I'm spoiled - I need three big screens for developing.

    Noob here. What's the difference between coding on Windows/Linux/Mac OS? Isn't the code the same, as well the result?

    @erikdreyer11 Web dev can be coded in all three. The others I can't say as I don't code in those

    @WerewolfCustoms Safari should render exactly the same on a PC so no need for hideously expensive Mac. Retina display is overkill TBH.

    @cosinusdealfa it's just personal preference although performance can come into it when compiling / debugging / testing. Its just another piece of kit another option no better than the rest other than the price tag, ouch.

    @erikdreyer11 either is just fine. Its just down to personal preference. I prefer Windows simply because it appears more intuative compared to Linux. That doesn't make it better or worse. I would try both and see which you enjoy the most. You could be more productive using one over the other too.

    It's pretty important if you want to make iOS apps natively.

    That's true. You need something with a keyboard to code.

    Use your own tools, with the time you'll find what fits your needs.

    I thought C# was Microsoft propietary...

    Dunno. Python is pretty nice on linux as it has better support for it imho.

    Only real reason I see for coding on Mac would be if you need to build a native iOS app.
