I use a Asus Zenbook UX31E with Ubuntu. I agree with Andreas, screen size is the biggest obstacle. I usually have open Chrome with over 10-20 tabs open (I am bad closing things), Eclipse, SublimeText, Postgres admin tool (plus Postgres DB in the backend). I sometimes push it to the limit and miss a desktop. I don't miss my previous computer a MBP 15'', SSD is a big improvement.
