A few years ago I got a MacMini2012 because some dev work required a Mac. Gradually it ended up as my main machine, running Windows in Parallels, and my older Winbox got retired.
Now, the MacMini is getting more and more unreliable and I figure I'm due a replacement (I got it 2014 I think). I quite enjoy MacOS but the new MacMinis are really pricey - and less easily user-servable/upgradeable.
These days I typically do all my dev work on remote VMs so host OS is less important. Clearly I can get a WinBox for a few hundred quid, or even get a decent laptop and use that with external peripherals for comfortably under a grand.
I know it's subjective but just wondered what people reckon?
