That is exactly my travel rig. I don't use it full-time, however-- I would spring for a lenovo ultra probably if I was going to do that. But I have the advantage of the dev environment I like (even mimics the full rig), I can work on a plane without wifi (my netbook runs servers just fine), and I can boot Win if I need to. It also fits easily onto even a small airplane tray/table. The only drawback is that unity isn't quite as good as the netbook remix ubuntu used to have. And some progs like mysql workbench don't respect monitor size and make their windows too large (thank god for virtual desktops). I will probably do this for my next 'round' of tech investment again rather than go ipad.
