I go with the 15" Macbook Pro. At my office I keep an external monitor
and full size keyboard/mouse and that's all I need.
For source control, I use Versions client with a subversion repo
through Beanstalk. Both the client and the server hosting are
reasonable, and Beanstalk offers some very easy to use deployment
management (prod, staging, dev) tools.
Best of luck!

If you need more than a laptop but the Mac Pro is overkill,
Consider the iMac. The new 27" is incredibly powerful. You can use
Dropbox to sync files between that and your laptop. For a local
development environment, install MAMP - works like a charm.

Hi folks,
I've been a web hobbyist since 1997 and have finally decided to
bite the bullet and start a 1-woman web shop. I plan on staying
small, perhaps never growing larger than 5 employees. Over the
years, I've designed on pc's and macs (I stuck with the mac), I've
used at least 10 different editors and ended up mostly hand-coding
or using Coda or Dreamweaver. I am passionate about web standards
and progressive enhancement. I am also really getting into
database work and am looking forward to building small business
sites for the folks in my moderately-size town.
So, for those of you who have been where I am now, do you have any
suggestions on the best Mac hardware to buy? My laptop won't cut
it anymore. I'd like a tower but perhaps that's overkill when you
can get those little boxes more cheaply.
Then I wonder how to handle separating the development from
production environments. That is one of my biggest concerns. What
software do you recommend for that?
And, what about versioning, billing and accounting software? I'm
thinking about going with Quickbooks but using Billings to track my
time. Any thoughts about that?
Finally, any other advice you want to give would be welcome. I'll
take advice on any aspect of this.
Thanks!
Holly
