OK I am showing my age, but ultrabooks do not fit my definition of

A Zenbook is something that I wouldn't think of running anything cpu/ram
intensive on as it wouldn't have the cooling capacity to keep its brains
from frying. Or has the definition of workstation changed?
This is a totally reasonable point; I'm not sure. I know the target
audience is developers, but don't a lot of developers use their laptop
as the primary machine and build on resources accessible on the network
and/or heavier stuff in a lab or at their desk?
It's the actual desktop of the developer that the workstation product is
concerned with, right? Which would be mostly targeted at laptop? Or am I
misunderstanding?
