The survey text clearly states "if you could only change one thing", so that's what you should do.
And of course it's possible!

In particular since the subheading is "change one thing", the real question isn't what's most important in a dev setup; it's what change would make your current setup better. For my current work computer I have 3x displays (2x 22" 1680x1050 and 1x 19" 1280x1024) so while I certianly wouldn't mind bigger and better screens it's hardly a major problem. I have a good ergonomic setup (being able to easily raise the desk height as needed for being a really tall person is one of the few virtues of cube furniture). Going from 8 to 16gb of ram would be nice (and with the steady growth of VS ram bloat is something I'd probably need if I were going to stay in this job more than another year vs escaping at the end of the week - OTOH getting more ram when I can show I need it as never been a problem here either). Which brings me to an SSD; I find myself swearing at the spinning rust on a near daily basis including for about 15-20m at first boot when all the corporate crapware is trying to flog the drive to death, so that's my top wish for my work machine.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would prefer all my devices should be connected wireless.
This includes charging my laptop/device, broadband, etc. No cables at all.
