I found this article really helpful when I realized all my work really revolved around my servers. I've got an iPad with a really nice Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and I love the fact that I can charge it overnight and use it all day (just like my cell phone). Of course, there are more limitations with my rig than you'd experience with a MacBook Air.

This is what I've been doing when traveling and the Logitech Ultrathin is relatively nice to type on.

Normally when I travel I need internet access anyways to do all my tasks (fix and/or deploy something), so a local environment isn't very important to me. I guess if I was some coffee house coder doing dev work I'd go for laptop

Thanks, I remember that article too. For Windows development it wouldn't work well but I do envy that battery life!
