Seems more like a CTO/dev machine with IntelliJ and 64GB RAM. CEO presumably focusing on sales/strategy. Of course if the CEO will be doing dev work (ie 1-2 person team) then fine. Although I’m a dev and co-founder and even I got on fine with a MacBook Pro 13 inch with 16 GB RAM. We’d need to know more about the startup, if its a general web app computer choice is probably not super important.

#10One that works for what you need and that's reasonably reliable. One in the cupboard as a backup. Everything backed up.
