#22I used 15" laptops for years, but recently switched to 13" and feel like it is a more productive screen size. I love dual monitors, but 15" seems just big enough to have distractions visible without having multiple windows usable. The 13" let's me focus.

#2313" Macbook Air. Fastest notebook I've ever used thanks to the SSD, won't ever go back to a 2.5" hard drive again.

#24I thought hackers are supposed to be Mac people, what's with all the PCs in here? edit: not sure why I'm being downvoted, just curious
Hackers can use whatever they feel is the best platform for their hacking. I personally felt sick to my stomach dishing out the cash for a 15" MBP knowing I could get the same hardware for half the price from Dell, however I want to (eventually) do iOS dev so I felt my hands were tied. Otherwise I would have just put Ubuntu on a Dell and VM'd Windows.

#25I'm moving more and more towards buying an Air and hooking up an external monitor to do "real" work. Two screens are better than one, and supreme portability and good battery life keep sounding better and better as I use my 15" MBP.
Don't get me wrong, I love the space on-screen. And I no longer have a TV, as it's large enough for my small living room. But all that really matters to me is an external screen port and a full-size keyboard. Being able to move it around and use it more places more often comes in soon after, and size comes much later.

#26I have an old Asus EeePC with a 10 inch screen as my ultra-portable
machine. When I travel I can throw it into a carryon bag and still have a
lot of room for other stuff. I don't mind the small screen that much; my
main gripe is the keyboard. It's just too small for easy typing. What I'd
like to upgrade to is a Thinkpad X100e. I think it will still satisfy my need
for exceptional portability, and it has a full size keyboard. I must
confess I also think its 11.6 inch screen will be somewhat nicer than
my current 10 inch screen.

#28For me it's 12" that strikes the right balance, and even more important than screen size is the keyboard.

#2913-14" is fine for programming but uncomfortable for Photoshop.

#30With the variety of resolutions out there, inches is the wrong measurement for me. I don't care if I'm working on am 8" or a 13", as long as I've got enough pixels to work with. I'm more productive on the 11" Macbook Air than the 13" Macbook Pro, because of the shape and resolution of the screen.
