I did development for Github on an iPad for a while while my Macbook Pro was getting serviced. If you look around the threads here you'll hear from others who have also done development on an iPad. it's certainly lighter weight than developing on a mac pro (understatement!), but for web development, especially in a n environment where you have staging environments to host services... It gets the job done. And while this is a matter of taste, when I was working remote, I preferred a lighter, smaller machine for going to cafés.
