Full stack developer here on Windows, not everything maxed out.<p>Payed 550€ for my laptop ( 8 gb, ..) 2 years ago, everything is still working fine and it&#x27;s still enough ( Visual Studio is supposed to be a &quot;heavy&quot; program). = 23 € &#x2F; month till now and still dropping... And it&#x27;s hardly game over with my laptop. When i&#x27;m at 3 years, it will cost me about 15,2 € &#x2F; month.<p>I&#x27;ll probably use it for longer. But let&#x27;s say i don&#x27;t have any costs and sell the laptop for 150 €, that makes  it 11,2 € &#x2F; month.<p>PS. No repairs required untill date<p>Edit: You can install Linux on it too or dualboot it ( i did this a long time, but didn&#x27;t feel the need for it now)
