Ask HN: Developer PC Must haves?

1 points by otibsa 9y ago ↗ HN

How to configure a state of the art developer pc for Developing Webapps/Mobile Apps (ios/android) based on current web fe/be-stack-technologies, using multiple virtual machines at once (e.g vagrant)?

I think, minimum requirements are: Ultra silent (case), ultra fast (i7?), much RAM (128gb?), geforce 1080?

- how do you think?

Budget should be max ~2000 !

Why not ryzen? More dedicated cores for more vms

If you want to develop iOS apps you need a mac. You should get the 27 inch iMac with 64 gigs of ram. This will be a lot more then $2000. If you don't need to develop iOS apps then ryzen looks like it could be good.
