What would be the recommended laptop configurations and software setup options to build and test cross platform apps?
I currently have a MBP 16GB 500SSD retina and run Xamarin Studio on the Mac to build iOS and Android apps, then I have VMWare to run Windows 8 and VS 2013 to build Windows phone apps. I know this is not the ideal setup and was looking for what the group uses to build apps.
In most of the Xamarin webinars i noticed that most people use Visual studio to build apps and has all 3 apps coded from one IDE. Would like to do this setup, but wanted to know the best configurations to do this setup.
