I don't always need a powerful machine but I sure want a powerful machine. I consider it part of my compensation. Working with a slower machine or a smaller screen is the same as working with an uncomfortable chair or lower pay.

A two year old machine, assuming it was top of the line at the time of purchase, should be plenty fine for almost anything today though.
