Desktop:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 1600x (6 cores, 12 threads)
  • 16 GB of RAM
  • MSI GTX 1070 Ti
  • Three monitors (1080x1920, 2560x1080, 1920x1080)
  • Windows 10 Pro + Manjaro Linux

Laptop (Dell XPS 15 9570):

  • Intel i7 8750H (6 cores, 12 threads)
  • 16 GB of RAM (soon to become 32)
  • GTX 1050 Ti mobile (kept turned off, to save on battery)
  • Manjaro Linux

As I use a lot of containers and container-based solutions I need a lot of CPU cores and a fair amount of RAM. I really don't need any GPU power, that's why I turned off my laptop's graphics card (I use the desktop for gaming and VR, so that's what the 1070 Ti is for)
