I bought a Linux machine a year or so ago, with 64G ram and 2T SSD (for less than Apple wants, obviously). I will say it is pretty much over spec-ced. I have a browser, use it for taxes and like city permit approvals and the odd pdf download/print. For a while I ran a bitcoin node. I use it for development of my open source go libraries, with eMacs and the associated ten stack overflow or GitHub tabs, but the only time I get make it use even a faction of its power is when like i test a “find all dup files on the dive” or rebuild gcc.

Hopefully it will work for a long time, but I think development could be good on a quarter of the mem/storage hardware. More cores would be nice, as always, but even there, go compile will light them all up but for far less than a second.
