Who takes their Laptop Dev Machine Home?

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.

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.

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

I'm self-employed working from home so yeah, I take my laptop dev machine home. In fact my 4 y/o laptop travels when I travel, usually one day a week. I actually despise working on the smaller keyboard/single screen and gave up long ago on the crappy trackpad with invisible buttons. X| It'll work in a pinch but is no substitute for a real workstation with all the goodies.

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.

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.

I also take my laptop with me wherever I go.
