I still manage and develop my php/jquery saas product on a 2011 27" iMac running Linux Mint, with an SSD being the only upgrade. Runs better than most new windows machines. No complaints. | ||

I switch between Thinkpad T420s and PineBook Pro for all the hobby work. T420s has loose USB ports and the power socket is almost falling off, so I plan to replace it by a 5 years old T14 G2 in the coming months. I can afford the latest MacBook, but I'd rather not generate more e-waste that there is, and more importantly I feel closer to my users, and my code is efficient and straight to the point. My non-hobby laptop is an old cheap Dell from 5-6 years ago. The best laptop I ever had was a maxed-out Thinkpad P7x, and it came with the most meaningless job ever. I can only compare that job to the one at a unicorn that gave me the latest and greatest MacBook. Not only the job was meaningless, the whole industry made no sense to me. | ||
