Hi, I’m thinking of purchasing a MacBook Air (MC503LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop) 1.86 GHz Core 2 Duo Processor
Will this be more than enough to allow me to use Corona?
I’m planning to use it both on the go and as my main computer for programming.
Thanks!

When I first started using Corona, I was using the 2010 White Macbook for a while and it was more than sufficient for coding/testing apps with Corona, so the Macbook Air should definitely be fine.
I would definitely go with the RAM upgrade to 4GB though… [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 9068 reply_id: 33040[/import]
I have the top spec MacBook Air (with 2GB RAM) and didn’t have the choice of upgrading it.
It is more than sufficient though. Have never even had a hiccup with Corona + TextMate running side by side.
Such a beautiful machine too

Im going to agree with reddotinc.
I have the 2.1 ghz, 256 solid state drive, and 4gb DDR3 SDRAM and it runs beautiful! Im not just talking about corona and text mate. I also run photoshop and illustrator side by side with corona while browsing the internet (API’s that is) and listening to music without a single lag.
If possible def go for the 4GB ram, it will greatly increase performance, but even without it, you should have no issues! [import]uid: 9968 topic_id: 9068 reply_id: 33082[/import]
2010 Macbook Pro w/ 4GB RAM here. Usually running Illustrator & Photoshop CS5 along with Corona and multiple Firefox instances all simultaneously with not a single issue. [import]uid: 31262 topic_id: 9068 reply_id: 33117[/import]
How about the 11" Air with 1.6GHz processor. [import]uid: 295 topic_id: 9068 reply_id: 33149[/import]
Well, looking at Activity Monitor, 100MB should be plenty for Corona 
If you can afford it, I’d go at least 4GB of RAM b/c you’ll often have other (memory-hungry) apps running. [import]uid: 26 topic_id: 9068 reply_id: 33151[/import]
Just for your information, I’m running a 1.4 2gb Macbook Air with PS CS5, DW CS5, Corona Project Manager, Sprite Deck, xCode 4 and Safari running without and problems. Definitely recommend an Air for mobile coding and development!
