A Macbook Pro. That is all.
A Macbook Pro 13". That is all.
Before I list my setup, I'd like to ask: What's with all the laptops? I worked off a 15-inch laptop for several years, but after using a desktop, I've completely converted. Laptops give you less screen space and less computational power, and in general I've never liked their keyboards. They're also more expensive (I think?) and trickier to self-build.

Granted, they sell desktops in France, and you could technically put one in a van, but the experience of taking off for a month-long road trip to get some work done is a definite perk.
http://jcs.org/notaweblog/2010/03/28/the_setup/ i think it would be neat if _the setup_ ( http://usesthis.com/ ) had a version where anyone could submit their responses and people could vote them up. a lot of the people they "interview" are really uninteresting and i'm sure there's a lot more unique setups out there being used by people that aren't famous.

The nice thing about the Web is that it's distributed:
Spoiler: Thinkpad X200s, standing desk, vertical-orientation external display, custom keyboard setup attached to my pants.
Desktop #1 : Win7-64 - 23" LCD 2048x1152 Core i5-750(Quad 2.5Ghz), 8GB RAM, ATI Radeon 5770 1GB, 1TB Seagate System drive, 1.5TB Seagate Storage
Desktop #2 : MacOS 10.6.4 (Hackintosh) - 23" LCD 2048x1152 Intel Q6600(Quad 2.4Ghz) 8GB RAM, Nvidia 8800GT 512MB, 1TB System Drive, 1.5TB Storage
Fileserver : Windows Home Server 1.4Ghz AMD Geode 1GB RAM 160gb System drive 8TB of total storage space.
My two desktops have my 23" LCD's side by side and I control both with one keyboard/mouse (Win7-64 machine is the server) via Synergy+ with an SSH tunnel.
I'm really happy with this setup.
Until last week's unfortunate beer spilling incident, I was using a macbook, along with a long standing server instance running Gentoo on RackSpace, with further instances spun up and then disposed of as needed. I have to say I find it kind of amusing how many people on HackerNews use Apple gear.
Using the Gentoo instance like a VM?
