I picked up a macbook pro in July and I work on my side project about food offline.  I optimized my setup so I can startup all the pieces I need with a single iterm script.  The backend is all in go, so using godoc with the -http option makes it easy to lookup all the docs in your browser without having to have a internet connection.<p>When I have to make my connecting train,  I just close the laptop and can quickly open it back up when I get to my next seat.<p>On days where I do not want to program,  I use the amazon kindle app with the whisper sync so I can listen to audio books.  If I just want to listen to music,  I use the free version of Spotify on my phone.
