Who takes their Laptop Dev Machine Home?

We all take ours home, they don't like us leaving our lappies at the office, due to break-ins etc. And some of us are on stand-by for support, so we need them with us anyway. And if something were to happen that we couldn't go into work (due to transport, etc.) we havee our dev machine with us.

My constant companion.. ;P

[Mario Luis]

Nope but it stays plugged in and available at office, use my home machine to remote if anything needs doing ( nicer setup than having to fire the laptop up at a table or something )

[CHill60]

Always. Doesn't mean I'm going to work from home (although I often do, for my own convenience). It stops it from being stolen if the office has been broken in to (happened to some of my colleagues … but not me). I can continue to work if the office is unexpectedly unavailable - this has happened to me twice - once for severe weather and once for an evacuation due to a suspected terrorist device. I can attend on-line meetings with my colleagues in foreign climes without having to stay in the office late or get in really early (I'm in the UK but I have colleagues in India and Hong Kong - our meetings tend to be quite short!) Oh - and it's company policy (kept the least important until last :laugh: )

I don't own a laptop.

[Dan Neely]

I very rarely use it from home, but do take it with me every night so I don't have to choose between taking a day off and coming into the office despite having a minor illness (mild cold, diarrhea, etc) or something else that requires me to be home.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

[Hooga Booga]

Not I. When necessary I remote it. Kinda defeats the purpose of a portable computer ...

Mine has a port replicator at home, so I connect to dual monitors (portrait and landscape) and proper keyboard and mouse. Even last week when I 'took my show on the road' I brought along the keyboard and mouse.

My employer is concerned about business continuity, so yes.

[Fever905]

Same. Lenovo ideaPad i7-4700MQ 2.6Ghz /16 GB ram. My home machine is an absolute powerhouse beast Clevo i7-6700 Skylqke 4.00Ghz with 64GB Corsair Aveneger 1333Mhz RAM along with nVidia GTX 1070. All that power!! I use it solely to connect to my Bell PVR, watch movies, and listen to some podcasts. The cooling system rarely comes on LOL.

[DerekT P]

My laptop machine is at home... the office is at home... it (very) occasionally goes to a client meeting.

[Kirk Wood]

I do in case for some reason I want to work from home the next day. My employer doesn't want me to always work from home, but I can anytime something comes up.

[Atin Agrawal]

I also take my laptop with me wherever I go.
