Which MacBook should I buy for preact dev?
Basically for Atom, Chrome & Terminal.
Current laptop is a 2013 rMBP 15" (i5/8gb).

I'd say whatever the latest 12" is - you wanna be developing on relatively slow hardware

why 12" + relatively slow hardware? power saving? - just interested :)

To be in touch with real users! I agree, but the screen real-estate is a tiny concern for me.

I could probably get by fine with the m7/8gb, but multiple webpacks + atom windows + chrome tabs might suck

"might" is key here - you're a person that builds tooling, understanding what avg devs experience is crucial

did you stick with Chrome on the 12" or switch to Safari for the lighter tab cost

I'm quite reliant on chrome tbh, still get a good ~5hrs of battery out of it when building stuff generally (:

yeah that'd be slick. I really like the mobility aspect, but TBH I work from a desk 95% of the time
