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.
In my old laptop (Dell Inspiron) I used to have seperate SQL and PDC, but it became a pain as I also need to share them with others on the team. However, it was the only way to get half decent performance then (shared SQL).
Now, I have enough grunt to have completely self contained VMs. It’s so much easier to manage and snapshot at various stages.
We also have a few farms at Cloudshare to perform our main functional testing. Works nice, but can be a bit slow.
Wow … what a lot of responses!
