    personally, I have all desktops at home. Love them. They're a lot easier to work on, tweak, upgrade, etc. .vs a laptop.

    I was issued a laptop for work, so I use a KVM to switch between the home mac and the powerbook. Both use my 27" monitor, keyboard and mouse. They're both roughly the same CPU-wise, so it feels pretty seamless to swap between the two.

    I do have a separate laptop for vacation and all, but we normally end up using phones or tablets when out of town anyway.

      I personally have an ancient 2007 Mac Pro thats still running nicely, and can still compete with todays pcs, and I also have a Thinkpad t61 I keep in the living room so I can watch youtube or check email. Though its one of the most easily takeapartable (Made up a Word!) laptops I've ever owned the customizability of my Mac pro is astoundingly easy and I don't feel like I'm breaking it when I upgrade ram or put in a new hardrive. That being said my mom has an HP elite from 2010 that I can't figure out how to get into, which sucks because It's fan is making noise and I need to clean the thing out, but still that things specs are still ahead of current high end laptops. Though at school I need to have constant internet so my ipad becomes my lifeline there.
