No, but alternative possibilities:

1) get a Chromebook <http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=os_chrm_59?&node=2858603011>

2) buy two solid-state drives, load both up with your OS and apps (one
    being a quick-swap spare), and then keep all your data in the cloud:
    github, dropbox, s3, google docs, etc.

3) #2 without the SSDs, just have a backup laptop or desktop

4) (assuming you don't travel much) local RAIDed file server for all
    your projects/data

FWIW,
