And here I am with my Lenovo S10-3 still doing fine in 2021. My use case is if I can produce something fast with this machine then half of the battle has already been won because by default I need to optimize for the lowest possible spec of my target market.
Obviously, I know this won't apply to everyone but anyway I hope this will continue for me a couple more years.
- atommclain 5y agoThe idea pad? Is it your main computer? I have an S10-2 I bought for installing a transflective display, and I can’t imagine using it for much more than noodling around with. I just wish it was just slightly larger to accommodate a decent keyboard and a slim battery.
- satoshiiii 5y agoI have another machine for mobile app development. It's also used for consuming multimedia and gaming. The low spec machine is mostly for web development and my main Linux terminal for managing other local/remote machines.
- qolop 5y agoI'm using a 6 year old ThinkPad X250 with 4GB of RAM. The benefit of using it is that I have zero tolerance for bloated software because it just won't run on my machine. This includes the software I make. And you're right, developers SHOULD be using the lowest possible spec of the target market. Whenever I visit some bloated SPA that crashes my browser I always imagine the developer being some smug chap with a fully specced MacBook Pro patting themselves on the back for what a smooth website they've built.
