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.
Yeahh, Office Web Apps are required to be installed on separate server as it is no more just an service application in sharepoint 2013. Also, development environment can be very specific to what we are looking to do. Say, if we would like to develop apps which are provider hosted, developers do need separate VM with IIS running to deploy and test the apps with cross server authentication but if we are doing sharepoint hosted apps, It should be fine just to have visual studio on single server.Â

Wow … what a lot of responses!
