I do it every day. No real laptop specific issues I can think of, but
would maybe reccommend against idlde... too many buttons to click on
with that clumsy trackpad! Emacs with idlwave is an excellent
alternative. Making use of define_key for keyboard shortcuts and text
inserts also makes life easier.
