I always buy something around 2K, not much more, not much less. As a developer, it's your most important working tool, and mostly the only one. So I like to think about it as an investment, the more I invest in it, the better the returns, although there are of course diminishing returns at some point in the price range.

I would suggest you do a few weeks of research and try them out in real life as well, once purchased it's probably the thing you'll use most throughout your day, so it better sparks some joy!
