These specs seem like overkill to me for some simple development work

JohnBooty on Nov 2, 2016 [–]

I didn't see where the original poster said "simple."

I have a laptop with similar specs and it's definitely taxed when running big monolithic projects and (particularly) their big test suites.

Also, when buying a laptop, most people like to buy something that can last at least a few years into the future...
