Not really imho. I don't know about graphic design, but a lot of the problem with systems for programming is that you need to be able to see enough of the context at once to make good decisions. Big screens help with that a lot, incremental processor speed improvements not as much as you might think. Memory is a problem for these smaller systems, though; that has to be managed carefully but I can run a fairly serious application engine and development environment on my pbook without even having to mess around too much as long as I don't run a lot of office/backend stuff at the same time.
If there was a plug-and-play installation for tomcat or some other servlet engine on the mac, it would be the bestest. As it is, I'm using crippletomcat and doing a lot of good low-level webdev.
