Ask HN: best low budget hardware setup for rookie developer?

• rorrr 14y ago
  Raspberry pi is too slow for any real development. What's your budget?
  • jamesjguthrie 14y ago
    Agreed. Get something like a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo laptop and stick 8GB of RAM in it - RAM is dirt cheap these days. Laptops like that are 3/4 years old and pretty cheap now.

    I'm in the $3-400 sort of range, thanks!

  If this is for your primary development machine use the best lenovo thinkpad you can afford plus arch linux.
