But I do have a 70 quid allowance so will have a play around with a VM with VS

Yeah I have some too, been trying to think how to use it.

Did you read my first post!? I need a Desktop God damn it

Yeah, sorry about that, but your first post was ten pages ago! Anyway, how big is your desk....?

Couldn't find the Fisher Price one, but this one looks like it might do the job....

Call yourself a contractor? Hell, call yourself a developer even? £1500 is nothing for a decent development rig. Stop being a tight wad and get your cheque book out!



And I'll bet you're the kind of person who decides on his next car purchase based on the paint colour, aren't you?

Not so much of a challenge since the post-Brexit price rises.

Still deciding on whether or not to leave the Flat rate scheme in April. Will impact what I decide to do.

It's due to people like the OP -

I have bought a lot of stuff from John Lewis... rarely return anything. They should be extending it because of me not reducing it.

I see the 2k limit as a challenge tbh.

Yeah, yeah, and I work on a Cray with 3 Pflops, 4k nodes, 85k cores and 10PB of storage, but it ain't mine

We're talking about home PCs and, in that context, it's tough to outdo the one DimPrawn linked...

I don't know, I have something that emulates that on one of my home PCs. In fact the laptop I'm using now can do a fair bit of what that does. Mind you, the work system can handle thousands of users, millions of transactions per second but it just so happens that I'm the only user on it so I think of it as my development machine

Plenty of good suggestions thus far.

After endless research I have found the perfect machine for the OP.

I'm hoping the manufacturers name of "Fisher Price" won't put him off

Can you buy it in John Lewis?

With a flashing light-up screen and a range of simple push button activities, this talking laptop helps youngsters learn as they play. There are 3 different modes to try, including number and letter recognition, shape learning and music fun.

For now... They've cut the 90 days return to 35 in the news today. Could be the start of a slide.

The OP will be happy with the 2 year guarantee and ease of return.
