One of the cheapest operations you can do is send a request to a cloud-hosted LLM like Claude or OpenAI. Chromebook can achieve that… and only that 😂
Running the code it generates is where the real variability exists. Vibe coding a checklist web app with Vanilla JS shouldn’t break the system, but the greater the complexity, the harder it will be to run the app locally. If you need to Dockerize anything, good luck on a lil’ dinky piece of paper like a Chromebook.
If you’re coding games, you’ll want a rig capable of effectively running the engine, and the final game of course.
And if you’re local running an LLM, you’re gonna need something beefy enough.
My personal recommendation, without any knowledge of your intended project scopes: get a good mid-level machine so you’ve got room to grow and build. Skip the $2k subscription, you’ll only need the $20 ChatGPT monthly subscription to party with the rest of us 🎉
Oh and disclaimer: vibe coding has its definite pitfalls. But, go have some fun, get savvy, and always remember to grow that kind and spirit, even when a machine says they can do that for you… they cannot.
Keep on rockin’ in the free world!
