      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. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

        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.

                My employer is concerned about business continuity, so yes.

                  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.

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

                      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.
