11-inch MacBook Air. People are always amazed I code on an 11-inch but honestly it works just fine--> (screenshot of eclipse) http://i.imgur.com/84TlU.png
The resolution is actually fairly generous. And if you're hacking in the terminal it's more than sufficient.
I find the 11 inch keyboard is just a lot easier to type on. You don't have this huge plane of plastic sticking out under your wrists.
And I generally lay down on the couch. I can't handle desk+chair. Too hard on my wrists and back. If I have to work at my desk I usually try to prop my feet up somewhere.
