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 agree with Vlad and others that win8 hyper-v is good although the snapshotting is worse than useless ( had to rebuild a sp2010 vm from backup recently. I have gone for a PCSpecialist Vortex III 17″ HD, i7 32 GB of RAM. My vms reside on a Samsung Hybrid drive sata 6 although I recently moved my DC vm onto a my boot drive (Kingston Hyperx SSD). The downside, it weighs a tonne and the ‘brick’ PSU is 220 rated watts. But it does perform and I can give sp2013 16+ ram and still have some headroom.
Be good if there is a blog post out there for running SharePoint 2013 lean and mean on our Laptops ….
Wow … what a lot of responses!
