@oktawian@uliwitness I have spent the last year using a 2.2GHz dual-core i7 MacBook Air with 8GB RAM (soldered) as my primary workstation and it's not as bad as one might think. I do run a pretty light-weight OS (#OpenBSD) and X11 WM (#MLVWM), but the former isn't the most I/O optimized OS and even it's barely noticeable when it starts swapping. I always oversize SSD storage though, to delay failure through wear-leveling.
