Hello guys

I develop android apps on my desktop, android studio performs very well with an ssd, all the processing takes minimal time.
Now I wanna start learning ios development, and I need a macbook to do so, but I don't have any idea about which macbook to choose between many types and year models and retina displays.

is there any developer using a macbook can help me choose what I need ?
Depends on how big or graphically demanding apps you'll be developing. I'd steer clear of the Air's for this reason. Your best bet is a Macbook Pro or a mac mini.

does anyone know where can I get a macbook pro with installments other than pcandparts ?
You can get it through a bank loan at Khoury Home, Abed Tahan etc type stores. If you don't want to go through the bank, you'll have to find a store that is willing to do that. It really depends if you know the owner well enough so can't help you there.
went to khouri home , he has the Apple MacBook Pro MF839 for $1579 TTC while it's $1382 TTC at pcandparts so i'm gonna go with pcandparts for sure. he uses creditbank and 7% interest per year, do you know how the process works ? I never did this before, my bank account is not creditbank will they link it or something ? and how do they withdraw the money each month?

thanks for your help

You can build yourself a hackintosh or just get a new SSD and install OS X on it.

1382$ at 7% interest over three years is ~$47 per month.

Concerning the payments, you will have to personally pay at any credit bank branch or have it transferred to your new account. (Yes, you will have to create an account)

I did a fast research and the iPhone sdk needs the OS X to be up to date and updating the hackintosh is a pain that's what everybody says, so you have to install it fresh everytime a small update is introduced.
If you are serious about your development, you need an Apple machine. Don't try to go around it because you'll wind up spending more money and being frustrated.
Concerning the bank loan, yes you'll have to open an account at the bank they want you to go through. Alternatively you can look for a shop that affords bank loans through the bank you are already at. Overall (and as a bank employee myself) I don't really advise you to go for a bank loan unless you are obliged to.

Thank you guys for you suggestions, I bought the new macbook air 13 , one thing which bugs me is that when I connect it to the power source its body gives static electricity when im on the ground, I googled it and it says I should use a grounded power outlet which we don't have, is this normal ?
