To correlate. I do much of my programming at home on two 23" monitors on a desktop, or at work on a 15" mbp and a 27" cinema display - and I absolutely love the excessive screen real-estate. But sometimes I am visiting family, at an airport, &c and want to be somewhat productive. I won't write as much code as I would with my normal setup, but there is an allure to keeping a tiny laptop/ultrabook in my go-bag and writing some small bit of code whilst sitting at a coffee shop. I'm not normal though, I take great pride in having ssh'ed home from the top of a 14'er. My absolute dream is to have a phone that can plug into a docking station and drive a full workstation setup. When it's time to leave I would love to just pick up this device, and have everything with me and operational (albeit in a limited capacity). Until the Ubuntu phone announcement, the Surface is the closest thing to my fantasy device (a major problem as well being that I'm a game developer - the HD4000 in the thing makes me cringe).
