Regardless of brand, this is the way to go. Get a cheap machine with decent display and CPU, then put in your own SSD and 8-16gb of RAM in it. This will last you and you won't have broken the bank to get there. Samsung, Toshiba, Thinkpads all can be found refurbished with a reasonable warranty and are of decent quality. I personally, go with Toshiba and Samsung over others just because my luck has been awesome with them. Apple is my primary development machine now, but even a low end version isn't a budget machine. By the time you buy a refurb and swap the SSD and Ram you are looking at ~$500 is my bet. Say $300 for the machine, $120 for the SSD and $80-100 for Ram + paying taxes and any shipping etc. |
