Why anybody would get a laptop for development is beyond me,
unless you get an extra keyboard for coding.
If you don't get an extra keyboard, you will wind up
with a severe case of cramped fingers from having
to code in the space-challenged laptop keyboards.
Other than that, get the most machine you can afford.
That's the best spec.

Developing in VS 2005 is choking my current desktop. Perhaps I just
need an excuse to buy a new machine! Any tips on who makes a good
laptop for developers? What specs should I be looking for in machine I
want to last a few years. In addition to VS 2005, I'll also be
developing w/ SQL 2005.
thanks - MAS
