Hi,

I have put together a powerful desktop computer to be able to handle a lot. Like 3 browsers, 2 screens, NetBeans, Wamp, Visual Studio, Photoshop running at the same time. The computer is also designed to be low on noise and will have 16gb DDR3 ram, best i5 processor and SSD Sata 3

But for comfortability I have considered of buying an ultra thin laptop for programming. I know it will cost me 3 times more to get an equivalent to desktop computer.

But will such a ultra thin laptop handle all the programs and 2 screen without flinching? Should I be concerned of over heating problems?

Is there anything else I should watch out for?

Thank you for your input.
