What do you hack on? Are you do 13" Air guy who uses nothing else and hacks around coffee shops or do you have three 27" screens on your desk? What is your computer's configurations, which OS do you use?

#2Asus G55VW, classified as a gaming laptop.
I do not game.
- 15.6 inch screen on 1920 x 1080, 16GB of RAM, excellent cooling and noise control.
- Windows 8/Ubuntu.
The only regret so far is not getting the 17 inch model.
How about you share your configuration as well since you started the discussion? :)

Currently I'm using an Asus N56VM as my main computer, using Windows 7 along with Arch Linux. The laptop is really cool, have an i7 with 8 gigs of ram and has a 1920x1080 screen.
Thinking about buying an 27" imac nowadays. Mainly for ios development.

#6Linux Mint 14 Nadia (upgrading to Mint 15 in the near future) on an Asus laptop with nvidia GPU and external keyboard, mouse, and monitor. I use the pre-installed Windows for games that don't play nicely with Wine.

Is the extra portability worth it with the Air? I still have a chunky 15" MBP with 16GB RAM (despite supposedly being limited to 8) but it's relatively heavy in the backpack.

#8- Macbook Pro 13" (128GB solid, 8GB RAM), magic mouse (I almost exclusively use the trackpad).
- 2 year old custom built gaming rig (i7K @4Ghz, 16GB of Ram, GTX 580, 256GB Solid, 750GB secondary, 27" Samsung Monitor, Shitty logitech gaming keyboard, shitty cyborg 7 mouse)
I almost never use my pc other than as a media center and occasionally some hardcore games. All my work is done on my mac.

I have the newer Macbook Pro 13" (retina & solid state) which is substantially lighter and more portable than previous Macbook Pros. While I typically work at the same area most of the time, it being light weight is definitely a bonus.
An air is even lighter and thinner.

Forgot to mention it's the retina version.
