I currently use use a 15-inch Macbook Pro for development (company issued) and have used a comparable Dell laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro previously (Also company issued).  But laptops required extensive additions/modifications to work in full stack web development for all linux-based server stacks.  

Preference would be a Linovo X250 or T450 series laptop stripped of Windows completely and Kubuntu or Arch installed to develop on.
