Second the fact on laptops - they are indeed ergonomically evil, unless you have a laptop stand with an external keyboard ...but then you might be on a "web 2.0 three month mashup" - in which case it is probably ok , anything longer and youll screw up either your wrists or your neck if not both. If you want to have good food too consider moving your startup to india - it costs around 60$/mnth for your own personal cook.

When I'm moving around I often use a backpack to carry my laptop (I don't know how much of a threat this really is, but if I were going to mug someone I'd be more likely to go after the guy carrying case that almost certainly has a laptop in it, vs. a guy carrying a beat-up old bag that might just be full of dirty clothes.)

So I often throw in a keyboard and mouse. The microsoft 'comfort curve' is particularly well-suited for this, though it is a bit long.

I tend to use my laptop on the go and in the living room and not much for work. I have several desktops for developing on.

Lets not forget desktops are cheaper than laptops so you could do it cheaper by buying a desktop and a coffee machine ;)
