Basically the laptop need to run the code and I am debugging with hardware so I won't be running a emulator that often. (unless I do not have the target device :P)

My first choice would be a MacBook air 13in (cheap and linux) or a new Razor Blade Stealth (bit overkill tho but powerful)

Any advice or recommendation for me?

I can't wait to start developing for the competition!!

Thanks in advance

Macs are great but also pretty bad due to the price and the quality. They got the strangest issues

but if money is no issue, go for it. Cheap Linux?

Is this computer only for learning to code? Then I say get a cheap windows computer. Especially if you are coding at home.

But if you decide to get a mac...buy it in US. It's so much cheaper that you almost get the trip for free
