Just in curiosity. How many devs here are use *only* laptop but no full set computer at home? Is it sufficient for daily programming and probably a little gaming?

I used to be a full set computer lover. But now laptops provide sufficeint compuing power with affordable price. Plus I am expecting quite frequent relocation in next few years. So I am considering buy a laptop and hoping it can be useful for 5+ years.

Any commrnts?

    Desktop Guy here I got two different desktops for the two locations I work. I got the feeling desktops last longer and give you more for the same money.

    I rarely work on my laptop. Only in places like trains.

    I am using a laptop, but it's alienware 17 with a graphics amplifier.....So it's more of a desktop laptop hybrid

    I too use laptop for coding (Mac at home) as well as work (lenovo thinkpad) and use gaming pc for gaming. I like to use laptop, especially Linux or Mac OS flavor for coding.

    Otherwise I'd get nothing done at all.
