Meh, I used a $300 netbook for 6 years.

OK I need to hear more about that one. I’m guessing it’s all command line development?
It was I think dual core 1.5 G with a gig an a half of ram. It was an upgrade from 800Mhz Pentium III (this was a long time ago.) So it was doing normal personal computing things: Web browsing, photo manager, mp3 player, email, document editing (mostly latex, inkscape, gimp). I had a keyboard and an external monitor since the thing was too tiny.
