I'm happy with a Thinkpad t410, 4GB RAM, Intel Core i7 M620 and a OCZ Vertex 2 SSD.
If you want to have fun, use a fast SSD for OS and your workspace - Backup on a daily basis(!). I promise you: If you ever developed webapps on a SSD you will never develop using a HDD again. If you have to switch back... ...it will be hard! Any Dual Core CPU should suite your needs, I never ever ran out CPU power when developing software. Memory is something you can't get enough of. 4GB is ok but I'd like to have 6GB, cause Firefox, Eclipse, Tomcat, Windows 7, Windowx XP Mode and a Linux VM running in parallel is not so uncommon for a developer. But nearly to much for 4GB RAM. -- Richard Hauswald Blog: http://tnfstacc.blogspot.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/richardhauswald Xing: http://www.xing.com/profile/Richard_Hauswald On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 5:38 PM, gshegosh <g...@karko.net> wrote: > Maybe it's not directly Stripes-related, but I find Netbeans and > Glassfish quite memory and CPU resource hogs, more and more with each > new version. > > My desktop development machine is quite powerful with overclocked Intel > i7-920 and 12GB of RAM, but I found myself in the need of buying a > notebook for part of my development. > > With my current old old laptop all I can do is use remote desktop to > access my desktop, but it's not a convenient solution. > > Can You recommend a machine that would not cost me an arm and a leg but > won't slow me down to a crawl?
