Rucksack.  Works a treat.  I agree that a workstation-class machine -
with extra battery - makes life easier.  My monster Dell luggable meant
that a product got shipped that otherwise would not have done so,
because I could work on it where and when I needed to.

That was a PC.  These days I'd go for whatever gave me 'enough' CPU
(most are too damn fast now), plenty of RAM and decent bandwidth to
disk, plus a non-reflective large-as-I-can-get screen.
