A 2011 i5, 12GB RAM, 128GB SSD +2x 1TB HDD with two 24" 16:10 monitors. Using Sublime Text since 2012? (best software buy ever) for quick PHP fixes, Go micro services and scripting mikrotiks and lately Android Studio which runs very fast compared to my 2015 13" Macbook Air which, I'm using for all the above except the Android part. Oh and btw, I'm running Debian 8.2 and Gnome and I couldn't be happier. Some day I will be installing onto the mac as well; though I really like the macos ui and everything it is starting to get ever more difficult to opt out from various updates etc. EDIT: re-reading your post, I would definitely recommend dual monitors with 16:10 ratio for 24" size or less. I also recommend an SSD m.2 for swap, root, /usr partitions, specifically the expensive NVMe ones from samsung. I can't emphasize enough on how big of a difference they make even compared to sata SSD's.
