Over the last 10 years or so I have transitioned to having two big desktops, one at work and one at home, with with a large dropbox folder keeping them in sync. I found I just never needed to carry a laptop with me and could get better price / performance in desktop.

I do get a little nervous being without a computer when I'm on holiday 5-6 times a year, but in 25 years I've never actually had to do any emergency work while on holiday. I think the risk is very small.



Did you get work to pay for both of those? I like the prospect a lot but not sure I could bring home something newer than 2014 in that scenario.


I'm a consultant and provide my own tools, but I'm well paid and $5k for a few computers that will last a long time is a fairly minor expense.
