I'm moving over to a .NET project and am going to be working with Visual Studio 2013. I'm a Mac user and going to be working mostly front end. My current setup is an early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" with the following specs:
- CPU: 2,2GHz Intel Core i7
- Memory: 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3
- Gfx: AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
- Hard drive: 160GB Solid state SATA drive
I would like to continue to run OS X with Visual Studio running in Parallels. I have not tested Visual Studio on my current setup, but I suspect it would run sluggishly. Does anyone have any experience with this, and can you point me in the direction of some recommended hardware specs? My project leader has asked for specs, so that we can either upgrade my current setup or get a new machine.
Any experiences would be appreciated :)
