I always laugh when I see posts like this. Very few companies are going to convert their enterprise systems to a slower, less sophisticated IPAD 3 based “system”. It’ silly.

I have an IPAD 2, I have a desktop. For productivity and tools there is no comparison—PC wins.

I finally built a server last weekend to meet my development needs. i7-2600k (3.4 GHz), 16 GB RAM, 750 GB disk, Fedora 16 x86_64. Enough machine to handle the big JVMs necessary to host multi-threaded, multi-processor applications written in scala and clojure. My little laptops with 3 GB RAM kept choking. Eclipse was too slow to be useful. It's distressing to lose your train of thought while waiting for the machine to echo your last keystroke.
