SUN Microsystems FreeSoftwareMagazine reviews the Sun Ultra 3 mobile workstation, and concludes: "As a portable development unit it is a dream. The ability to effectively run both a client and a deployment environment on the same machine at reasonable speeds certainly makes a difference to your ability to work while mobile. The size of the display and the speed of the unit make it ideal for working with multiple source files, or within environments like Sun Studio or Eclipse, both of which ran perfectly. The binary compatibility is obviously key for those who need a portable SPARC unit, but I could just as easily see it being used as a Java or script based development platform."

$3400 for a baseline 15" model! I thought Apple had the lead for expensive systems.
