I spend about 90% of my time developing while at work (the rest is spent at various other locations and that includes the internet
). And when the client doesn't supply a workstation (like my current workplace), I'll be able to supply my own. And I don't work on the go, I think the battery would last about an hour, if I really would work on it without a wire... But the laptop isn't designed for that, it's designed as a mobile workstation. It's a beautiful monster, a full-sized keyboard, a 17" screen (1920x1200) and way too large to just use while browsing on the couch
But thankfully, I have my Surface Pro 2 (which is my own) for some semi-serious programming work, my Asus VivoTab Note 8 for some couch-browsing and my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for the odds and ends (I really never cared for Android...)
