First basic questions are:
What is the intended usage? We can't recommend anything until we know how its going to be used.
What is your budget?
How long do hope to use it?

Light usage, but would like to start learning Xcode/Swift

Have previously dabbled in Wordpress websites, Photoshop and Adobe design

Last MacBook Air lasted around 8 years so close to that preferably

Looking to keep costs low as possible hence basic/entry level models. If I had the cash I’d be getting a 15” Pro

Went with the Pro and so far liking it, especially the touch bar and Touch ID

Slightly missing the quietness of the fan less MacBook though
