Submitted by 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.”
Finally people working in the Solaris on SPARC enviroment can take their work to the beach 😉

Their Blade and Ultras series are pretty good.
Just as expensive! People just don’t know that portable SPARC’s been around a long time.
$3400 for a baseline 15″ model! I thought Apple had the lead for expensive systems.
guess no one can afford to comment on this.
An iSeries mobile configuration would be quite useful. Are you listening IBM?
from someone who has used an unltraSPARC IIIi edition one of these they are very very nice. expensive as hell but incredibly nice. i am looking forward to when fijitsu’s SPARC chips replace sun’s low end ones. now having one of those in a laptop would be nice.
I agree. We need more cheap sparcs. Sparcs for the masses.
