I have my Toshiba Tablet PC which also supports an additional 1280x1000 resolution monitor and it rocks.
I'm suprised to hear people prefering a "bigger" keyboard; unless you're coding in Hex I wouldn't have thought the number pad would be much use.
Since I switched to using laptops with their smaller keyboards I have suffered less strain, and I also get to count my 30 minute ferry ride every morning and evening as quality programming time; an hour a day certainly adds up.
Laptops rock!

I believe that laptops are just too small to work with - I have this dekstop with a large-keys-MS-keyboard, dual monitors (thinking about the 3rd), and a good optical mouse.
We use laptops only for product presentation on customer sites, and even our sales people prefer using desktops.
BTW, just to be fair, my computer is not a "desktop", it's an "under-desk", only the KVM is over the desk

Mostly, I use my portable like a desktop.
I have a big screen, MS Natural Keyboard, and a mouse on my desk, all attached to a little laptop... and whenever I want to leave, I take the core of my desktop computer with me!

I agree, that's why I have a spare keyboard at work and at home, to plug my notebook in to.

What about monitor size... I can see how to code in VC++ without a 21" monitor!

I'm the reverse.
I think my typing improves noticably when using a laptop keyboard, although I only use laptops for general IT tasks and not writing code. I do hate using those trackpads though.
