> I just don't feel like if I did so I'd wind up with a good developer machine that will last me three or four years. What kind of a PC can you get for $1K that will be a "Good development machine" in the next 4 years? I had a top of the line Sony laptop about 6 years ago, it became obsolete in the third year of usage, at the same time I still have my 2012 rMBP which is still running insanely good (same 3 years of use) for my tasks ( I do heavy photoshop web design work and code frontend)
