I am playing with the idea of selling my 28-135 and MacBook for a 14-40mm L and Mac Mini?
Any thoughts from the camera crew?

The question is, which L lens are you getting? And which MacBook are you selling?
It might just be better to just save up money, sell off the 28-135mm and grab the L lens. If you have no need for a laptop, then I guess it would be an okay option...
what model Canon do you have?
Also, what type of photos do you like to take?
I have a 50D and I typically take sports and portraits, but I want to start doing more tripod based landscapes and scenery.
I currently have
28-135mm
50mm f/1.8
70-200mm f/4
28 is not wide enough on the 50D.
Actually the 28-135mm is an average quality lens.
17-40 is a sharp lens, especially if you stop down.
i was asking the OP, not you. and all lenses are sharp stopped down.
OP: why have you ruled out a 17-50 or similar?
Well I am willing to bet for 99% it's due to the L
Who can deny the allure of the red ring, but the reason is primarily that I can get this lens for $550 brand new...
I wouldn't jump on the 10-22, it is a great lens (I rented it once to try it out, I liked it) but the 17-40 is plenty wide on a crop. I'd skip past any EF-S lenses. In 5 years everything might (100% hopeful guess) be FF, then what good are they? EF aren't going anywhere, and yeah, the L is very very tempting. The 17-40 is very sharp, great colors.
Do it. It's a good plan. No, it's a great plan.

After looking through a samples thread of photos taken with the 17-40 on POTN I am feeling more certain that it is a solid plan. It really will make more sense to have a desktop anyhow!
as someone stated earlier, the 17-40L isn't wide angle on a crop sensor.
