I bought a completely base model device because its really all you need. The only issue I ran into is storage, to get over that I bought a SSD enclosure from HyperShop. If it weren’t for video games and Docker containers this machine would be perfect. The CPU is absolutely insane for the price, and MacOSs memory management is way better than any other OS I’ve seen.
This machine compiles Rust about 10x faster than my Gaming PC and runs League of Legends so its really all I need.
