I'm using a mid-2010 MBP 13", which was meant for iOS development only but just after a few weeks of using it I switched over to it as my main development machine. I have modified it to 8GB RAM and removed the DVD ROM to make space for a SSD/HDD combo. Compared to my previous Windows based desktop PC, it is just so much more silent. The SSD makes up for the spec difference between my desktop and the MBP, so cannot complain there. Compared to my Asus Laptop the MBP provides less battery time (Asus ~8hs, MBP ~6hs) but it is much faster, so that it works out quite well for me. The only regret I have is that I didn't buy a 15" or even the 17" MBP, since for development work the 13" just doesn't provide enough screen estate, so for me an external monitor is a must.
