I got a generic Dell Inspiron and turned the RAM and CPU options all the way
up, and it's fine.

I just got a bag with wheels! Problem solved. I brought it with me to Europe
twice and worked from there a couple of weeks making connections in London

I would ONLY try this with XP though. I have since gone to
an HP Quad-core with 3G RAM running Vista and it's PAINFUL.
It's been a year and I'm close to having to reinstall with XP.
Have you tried disabling Aero Glass? My Vista machines perform as well as
they did with XP.
Dave Watts, CTO,
For my personal laptop I use the 17in MBP and its incredible. I had some issues
initially configuring CF 8 + Apache but once I overcame that hurdle it works
great. I've never encountered a slowdown or any hangs.
For work we stick with the Dell D series. If you put enough ram in, they've
worked

even better.

I wouldn't be adverse to this, but I think we probably want
to avoid the expense of a full MBP, plus we only use SQL
Server and there's no tools for the Mac, for MSSQL are there?
There are no native tools (obviously), but there are third-party tools that
are sufficient for building queries
Best development laptop? Huh... that's not a loaded question?
The two factors (other than price) that drove my decision was RAM and screen
real estate. RAM is obvious, especially if Vista and Java come into play.
Java reminds me of the scene from Austin Powers where Fat Bastard was eating
in bed.
and there's no tools for
the Mac, for MSSQL are there?

If you can then obviously I am going to say that the MBP are the way to go.
if you HAVE to have PC then I second the Dell D series. I just moved
from a 4 year old D400 with 2 gigs of ram and I loved all the
peripherals you could get. Having a docking station was awesome and
they are just good
