How about Macbook Pro running Goobuntu?
- packetslave 14y agoFrowned upon for supportability reasons, even if you made it work with all the corp management stuff. But like drbble said, laptops for engineers are mostly for Chrome, terminals, and NX/VNC sessions, since you can't code on them directly.

- packetslave 14y agoI wouldn't say they're exclusively thin clients; you can run more or less whatever apps you want (I use Omnifocus, Graffle, bunch of other stuff). But source code isn't allowed on laptop HDD's, so most engineers develop remotely on their workstations via SSH/remote-desktop.
