It is well known fact, that you don't need a workstation with quantum computing superpowers to be a developer.
I work on an average machine too, which I use for like 4-5 years already. Here is the extract from the manufacturer:
MSI GS70 2PE Stealth Pro:
- Intel Core i7-4710HQ (Clock Speed: 2.5GHz, Max Turbo Frequency: 3.5GHz)
- 2x128GB SSD MSATA HDD (RAID)
- 1TB 5400RPM 2.5" HDD
- NVIDIA Geforce GTX 870M 3GB
- 17.3" Full HD (1920x1080) LED Anti-Glare

I'm spoiled... I was until later 2019 on an i7-4790k for about 5 years. I then went to a 3950X (since passed to my daughter) and now an R9-5950X with an RTX 3080 and 128GB ram, 2TB Samsung 980 pro... My laptop is an M1 Macbook Air (16gb/1tb).
I'll probably be using what I have now for 4+ years, similar to the 4790k (about 5 years).
What do you do with 128gb ram ?
I'm regularly over 45gb with databases and application stacks while developing. Also wanting to run some ai video upscaling on older content.
Thanks for the insight 🚀💯
Just got myself a Lenovo P14S AMD Gen 2. It has a ryzen 7, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD and a 4k screen. Currently running Fedora
I ordered it in the sale and saved about 20% so it was cheap compared to others I was looking at. I plan on keeping it for 4+ years.
Previously I had an Asus Zenbook with an i5 and 8GB RAM. Doing anything remotely intensive would lock the system up. The battery was also really iffy (wouldn't always charge)
Seems like a great setup, thanks for sharing 🙏❤
This is what I use, pal
Thanks for the share 😉👍
Also, how do you like Big Sur? 👀
Not bad, lol.... but not much of a difference as usual, buddy!
Haha, awesome, thanks 😉👍
Mine is a pretty low end PC, (almost 5 years old now)
CPU: Intel Pentium 3rd Gen (G2020) Clock speed: 2.9 GHz
RAM: 4gb
Storage: 240GB SSD
Graphics: None
OS: Ubuntu 20.04 + KDE environment
Only I know how this thing is still a little usable.
The ssd & linux are the only things keeping it alive
Thanks for the input 🙏❤
MacBook pro 2015 retina display, still good for daily activity and for basic video editing
Usually I use for writing code using Visual Studio Code to build website or mobile app using react native
The main issue just the storage is too small, but I can use micro SD for it
Awesome, thanks 🙏❤
My laptop has 16gb ram, 1tb patriot ssd ryzen7 3700 and gtx1650 4gb

Enough for soft/mobile and web development
Thanks for the share 🙏❤
Thanks for the input 🙏❤

Dell 7570: Intel core i7 8th gen, 16 Gigs of RAM with 256 GB SSD storage and 1 TB HDD sounds perfect right?
