Best CPU for Rust on Windows (2025
โ Rust ๐ 2025-10-16 ๐ค surdeus ๐๏ธ 6Hey guys!
I usually work on a macOS M4 and Rust runs great there. But since I build open source apps for Windows / Linux too, Iโm currently stuck with a Ryzen 5 4500U laptop, it gets hot and compiles slowly, so deving is a pain.
Iโm thinking of buying a NUC / mini PC (maybe from AliExpress) that I can hook up and use for development, running Windows & Linux.
Do you have advice on:
- what specs I should aim for (CPU, RAM, cooling)
- brands / models that work well with both OSes
- any gotchas or โdonโt buy thisโ experiences
Thanks in advance!
