"Basically everything" sounds a little too generalized. Please elaborate.

At the moment I'm schlepping a 17" Linux monstrosity between home and office - hard to fit in any bag. At each end of the journey, I connect to power, monitor and keyboard, and about half of the time I'm connecting to an embedded device. I seldom stop at coffee shops because then I'd be that one person without a MacBook :(

I get that two machines is a simple matter of a git pull each end, but have zero complaints about the laptop logistics.

I suspect for me it's more to do with keeping toolchains and build environment up to date and running - a full build can take 3 hours (vs 1 on a desktop). I'm also kind of stoked that I have a laptop that can do it at all.

You have me thinking here...
