I recently got a used M1 Max 64gb with 4tb for around 2000 USD and 120 battery cycles. (when new it was around 4500)
This thing has 400 gb/s memory bandwith and never swaps. For dev work with shitload of dockers it just flies. Compile times in the newer CPUs are better but not by much.
For local LLM it's not the best (no cuda support), but for everything else this thing will last at least for the next 3 years easily.
