Is coding on a netbook comfortable? What if you wanted to code for more than a few hours? Does the lack of screen space get to you or have you figured out an efficient configuration? (If you have, could you please post a screenshot?) I already have a MacBook, but I rarely take it out because I rarely do any coding outside my place and lugging the whole thing through the Metro and bus system is not exactly my idea of fun. Having a netbook that I can easily lug around the city might actually encourage me to take my code with me wherever I go.

hope you read this, screenshot: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/421955/netbook_vim.png http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/421955/netbook_vim.png Of course I don't think you'd enjoy coding on a small laptop (netbook), if you don't follow some recommendations (which I think are good recommendations anyways): * limit your code to 80 cols * limit your code to less than 400 loc Actually on my main laptop I get 34 loc full screen (I try not to use full screen), on my Dell mini 9 I get 31, not bad at all!
