Ask HN: What's the configuration of your development machine?
Do you use laptop or desktop machine? What's the hardware configuration? Which OS?
I'm planning to buy a new one for me. So, wondering what the HN Community is using.
- scottyallen 15y agoI use a 13" macbook air with 4gb of ram. When I'm at home, I hook it up to a Dell 30" lcd with an old school MS Natural Keyboard and an Evoluent Vertical Mouse.
- latch 15y ago13" macbook air with 4gb ram...no extra monitor/keyboar/mouse. I have a dual 27" screen 8 core, 8gb PC 2.5 feet from me which is great at collecting dust.

- smokestack 15y agoThinkpad T410s running Arch and Gnome 3. Switched over from a 3-monitor desktop setup a couple of months back and haven't really looked back. I'm finding it easier to enter "flow" on a 14" screen than with 4000 square pixels of peripheral noise, and it's nice not feeling chained down to one particular location. If you're not an OSX fanatic, most of the Thinkpads are great machines to hack on.
- pguzmang 15y ago13" MackBook Pro (2011 Core i7) with 4 GB RAM using an external Acer 24" lcd and a fancy logitech mouse. Please find another brand for the external monitor, Acer does not have drivers for mac :s
