Ask HN: What computer are you using for AI coding tools?

I'm a heavy user of Claude code, had an M3 pro with 18gb ram for a few years. Until a few months ago it was always a beast.

Now I'm spinning up more Claude code sessions (5-10), each with often 1-3 subagents going, as well as using chrome with playwright of claude-in-chrome for debugging/QA/styling.

That combination has really been slowing down my computer lately. I get it, it's a lot of processes and a lot of chrome. I don't like the cloud coding agents cause I often want it to use my own cookies in my browser, or other secrets/setup I've got locally

Curious if anyone else has these issues, and what you're using. Obviously it'd be nice to upgrade to an m5 with 24 or 48gb but that's 4k AUD (or 3200 with trade-in)
