But seriously, I have a question about what is an acceptable laptop config for Java development?

It does depend on what you mean by acceptable.

However, I'm using a G4 Titanium 500 MHz, 384 MByte laptop.
Even though I am a dinosaur who still uses vi and ant
I've started playing with Eclipse 3.0 and also the 2.1.1
version (into which they back stitched the 3.0 performance
improvements). It runs pretty well once it starts and is
quite responsive.

Right next to my laptop is one of those new 17" iMacs with
a 1 GHz processor but only 256 MB of RAM. Eclipse runs
not much faster on it because I reckon the extra RAM
is the important factor. Especially if you are also
going to run a browser, mail, the application you are
developing as well as Eclipse.
