2012 MacBook Pro non-Retina with a 2.9 dual-core i7, and upgraded to 16gb ram and a 120gb SSD. That's my main computer. My college was selling 2011 macs for 1/2 off last April as a "fire-sale" kind of thing where they cleared merchandise before the next shipments of 2013 came in. I bought a Mac Mini for $279 and have put 16gb ram in there to replace the 2gb stock. I primarily use that machine for experimental stuff. I run a couple dev web services off of it for side projects I build, and do some dev on it.
