Hello all. I am currently in the market for a new laptop that I want to also use as a pentesting laptop running my VM's and such on it and I was looking at the new macbooks and was just curious to hear what some of you are currently using for your pentest machines? I was trying to decide if I want to go with the quad core macbook pro or just go with a lighter weight laptop such as the macbook air or maybe just one of the macbook pro's with the dual core i5 in it? What are your thoughts?
I know a lot of you have commented on another post related to this topic and many have suggested a laptop with just linux on it and such. I have other laptops configured in that way but I am wanting to personally dabble in the Macbook realm a bit and just curious of the latest versions out there, what would serve all of my purposes as fas a CPU, RAM and everything for a pentesting macbook where I could mess with Mac OS as well as run my Kali and some Windows VM's for proof of concept type of stuff when I am doing some pentesting. Again, I am completely new to Mac's and that is why I figured I would ask instead of just go out and buy something and then not be happy with it. Especially since Mac's are not cheap as we all know. LOL!
