Has anyone used Visual Studio on a 32 GB or 64 GB laptop?

RE: Has anyone used Visual Studio on a 32 GB laptop?
If it was me, here in Sweden, I'd buy a used ThinkPad for about 30 EUR and a 120 GB SSD, used or on a deal about 45 EUR (just avoid shoddy no-name stuff). Coding is so much faster and easier on the hands with a good keyboard.

For ultimate money-saving, I'd give up on running Visual Studio, buy a Raspberry Pi (old model can be found for less than 10 EUR sometimes) and go look for a Linux IDE or just pile any required functions onto the extensible editor of your choice. But I'm not so sure an SD card is any more reliable than a spinning drive, unless subject to shocks.

Actually, I might recommend the editor route regardless of hardware - no matter how good Visual Studio is it can't possibly be better than a system tailor-made for yourself, can it? (but be warned you could potentially sink an awful lot of time into creating such a system)

Just a few thoughts that fled from my head. :) /Linus
