One of Alans points in his talk is that students should be using bleeding edge hardware, not just regular laptops. I think he is right for some part but he also recollected the Joss environment which was done on a machine about to be scraped. Some research and development does not need the bleeding edge hardware. It can get a long way by using what you have till it's fullest.
