Hi, i want to ask is it macbook pro is durable if i run heavy software (ie: android studio, genymotion, virtual box with windows 10) almost every day. I may scare the fan or processor is broken if i run these heavy software.

Android studio isnt heavy bro. But to answer your question, no it will not have any issues. if you wanna be sure, get a cooling pad or something.

I run premiere pro and after effects on almost a daily basis and my laptop is good as new.

Java thing quite hunger memory.vm also. At least min 16 gb ram. Should be okay except ram

I would suggest to spec up the Macbook Pro with more HDD space as well, 512Gb, and as mentioned earlier, 16Gb of RAM. The laptop is quite durable quite rarely have I heard that the processor or fan kaputs.

Then you should aim for a 15" as there are two fans on them instead of one. If you decide on the 13" instead get a cooling pad along with it.

I run the same stuff (although I use Parallels instead of virtualbox for my non genymotion VMs), along with other things like Adobe Illustrator and so forth. Sometimes when I want to take a break, I don't bother quitting those apps, but just launch a game while leaving those stuff running in the background

Only thing to take note of is that you'll want to restart Android Studio every now and then (nothing to do with the Mac, but more of annoying memory leaks. same thing happens with Xcode too)

R&D team using Eclipse and develop Android apps in MAcbook..No performance issue at all.
