Re: Geared Down, Low Cost Power IBM i Box Rumored - How Low Can You Go?

It would be perfect for someone like (ISV) me who only has me and maybe
one or two others at a time.

I certainly don't need all the power my new 41A has. Even my old 515 is
still plenty of power for the work I do on it.

But they would have to also make sure the price is right compared to the
developer discounts they give.

And being lighter would be nice.. ;) That 41A is an anchor!

Let me ask why this is important to you? From your posts here, it's clear
you're not the size of IBMi shop this would be for.

What you say may be true. However is the lack of a lower end model what
is holding you back from upgrading? If so why? Cost per box? Cost of IBM
i (and/or applications) per core? what?
