I just purchased a 12 in. PB 1ghz and am really enjoying it. My dev environment consists of:
My previous environments were a p3-750 running win 2k and a Sun Blade 100 with the same development tools. I have to say that the PB is faster than both the Sun (by far) and the wintel box (not quite as much). As other posters have mentioned, RAM is an important factor.
I recommend this environment wholeheartedly, because not only can you use familar tools and take advantage of the unixy underpinnings of the OS, but you also have access to MS Office for sharing documents with those in the Windows world.
- emacs 21.3.5 w/JDEE (compiled natively it supports the mac UI
- ant
- jikes
- postgres
- tomcat 5
