Go on let’s have em, what laptops are you all running and do you recommend for SP 2013 development ? The MBP a contender (surely not)!… Is anyone surviving on 16gb ?
UPDATE! Can you also add your laptop and configuration to this list : (User “Add to List”). http://list.ly/list/73V-sharepoint-2013-laptops. If someone has the same one, just vote it up.
I just ordered a Lenovo W530 with an upgraded CPU and screen, 256 GB SSD, and spare power brick. I went with a 1x8GB RAM chip and will add another 24 locally when it arrives – 3x8GB Lenovo RAM goes locally for about $300 vs the $570 it would have cost with the order, and as needed I can swap out the DVD-RW for another SSD or a 500 GB 7200 RPM HDD.
Thanks for this thread and all the replies, all helped!
Cheers,
-Eli.

Wow … what a lot of responses!
