My dev machine is of the shelf Acer aspire laptop that I bought used, it comes with a 4GB RAM, I also added 4GB of swap memory. I use it to develop fullstack applications for servers, browser and android. My stack is Rust, Javascript, Dart/Flutter, Postgresql and running Debian 13.

It works great, I mainly use 2 applications , Firefox and urxvt, using emacs -nw to write code, no LSP or code completion because they use too much RAM. I also use i3wm which very lightweight.

I am not who you're replying to, but my daily driver is a Dell Precision 7550 with 32gb RAM that I bought refurbished two years ago for $400.

(Now I wish I'd bought two.)
