What is the amazing AID app?

So far I have been developing directly on my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 using the amazing AID app.

However, as the N7 can't provide logs due to it being jelly bean, i feel the need to get a mini notebook in order to utilise adb logcat.

My main worry is that something with only 1gb (2gb if i upgrade, which i will) and a 1.5-1.83GHz atom CPU won't be powerful enough.

I can possibly get around certain worries by not using emulators and testing directly on my two devices, so that will save me a great deal. Also I am tempted to just use vim and command line tools instead of eclipse which again might save me from a slow PC.

What do you guys think? Is the notebook way under powered? What if i just use vim and no emulators?

Side note, does anyone actually code in vim/command line?

Cheers
