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.
Cool Mark — a quick look shows their cheapest listing is here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LENOVO-THINKPAD-W530-i7-3740QM-FHD-4GB-RAM-…
for $US 1559, including free shipping within the US
So, here’s another one who ships to the UK for approx £1000 + £65 shipping.  Can’t complain about that then!  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-ThinkPad-W530-243857U-i7-3740QM-2-…Â
A quick look for the same model in the UK: … can’t find the same, but close:Â http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-W530-15-6-inch-Processor-Professiona…Â
for £1460.Â
So, the lesson is clear — have a nice trip to the USA in the off-season, and the difference in cost should at least pay for your flight.
Wow … what a lot of responses!
