Ask HN: What is your primary development machine?

At a recent conference I attended, I noticed that 80+% of the attendees all had Macs of one flavor or another. Since this was a developer-centric conference, I wondered if this is a general trend for the community as a whole to migrate to Cupertino or is there a more even distribution in a wider group...

For any pedants in the group: "Primary" here means the machine you spend 80% or more of your time on doing development work. Not surfing, watching Netflix, or anything else. Development only.

Windows 7 Laptop

Currently using a netbook with Ubuntu 11.04 on it. Absolutely hating that I updated, because Unity is just barely able to run on it. I'm in the middle of a few projects, otherwise I'd take the time to either try out Unity 2D or go for something like Arch or Fedora.

But, I've already decided to pick-up a Macbook Air as soon as the product line is refreshed. I _want_ to like Linux on the "desktop" and continue using it, but after using a Mac at work for development for the past several months the difference is really night and day. The applications just aren't even close to being where I'd need them to be, and I want to branch out beyond Android apps to iOS as well in my free time.

In short: as long you're not using Windows you're fine. Unless you're a game developer targeting Windows and/or Xbox. Then you really have no choice.

Arch Linux, both Laptop & Desktop

Yeah, if I could get the Air with 8 GB of RAM it would be REALLY tempting... (Oracle + Eclipse + JBoss etc... eats a lot of RAM).
