17" MacBook Pro,12" iBook or an Eee-901 (running Crunchbang Statler), perhaps even the N900, all via ssh to a scratchbox on my quad-core desktop linux box :)

Oh, I've got QtCreator and MADDE installed on my MacBook Pro now, too, but I'm just finding my way around that, although I've built/deployed the example projects onto the N900 and all seems good.

Is any Flash developer here that can explain me why is kind of fashion to have Mac Book Pro to deal with flash on it? I will Ignore the political reasons, but usability to develop something on osx is just pain in ***! An there is no Flash Develop on Mac grrrhhh... I just don't get it. For me this "platform" is not developer friendly at all. An you had to overpaid for that :D

Re: Somewhat OT -What Laptop Do You Use To Develop On?
 

OS X has vi, gcc and make. That should be more than enough for any developer :)

I've no comments on Flash, other then I run flashblock in firefox and youtube is about the only place I need to enable it. Flash can go into Room 101, along with Active-X as far as I'm concerned.

I used to use this for developing on:

Manufacturer: Asus
Model: eee901
Display Size: somewhat 10"
OS: Ubuntu 10.04
Other Info: 2 GB RAM

Now I'm mostly using this:

Manufacturer: Apple
Model: MacBook 6.1
Display Size: 13"
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (I don't like MacOS-X...)
Other Info: 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD

Manufacturer: Lenovo
Model: X200
Display Size: 12.1
OS: Win 7 x64
Other Info: 4GB RAM, external screen, keyboard and mouse when docked at home :)

Re: Somewhat OT -What Laptop Do You Use To Develop On?
 

Manufacturer: Fujitsu
Model: Amilo Pi 3560
Display Size: 15,6" (HD) + 21,5" external LCD (Full HD)
OS: Windows 7
Other Info: I use it for .NET development (for my work), occasional gaming (the graphics card is real good), and, of course, developing in Qt for Maemo.
I think this machine has an extremely good price/value ratio.

Thanks to everyone that has responded so far....very interesting to see the range of laptops/OS's, etc that people are using...

One of my main reasons for asking for this info was to see what size display most people use to do dev work on...if I'm not mistaken, while there is a range of sizes from large to small, most are tending towards larger size; 13" or larger....which I suppose makes sense given the convenience of having more screen real estate to use...

Re: Somewhat OT -What Laptop Do You Use To Develop On?
 

This is more of a netbook, really. I do mostly C and Python coding on it.

Manufacturer: Lemote
Model: YeeLoong 8101B
Display size: 10" LCD
OS: gNewSense
Other info: 160Gb HDD, 512Mb RAM, 900Mhz Loongson-2F MIPS(el) RISC CPU. This is the first laptop which is fully free with all components.

Re: Somewhat OT -What Laptop Do You Use To Develop On?
 

In my opinion the resolution is more important than the physical size. I want as many pixels as possible. Sadly all laptops now are "Widescreen" (actually: short-screen) so pixels are in high demand...

Personally I only want a screen with at least 1000 vertical pixels...
