My laptop is for reading email and surfing the web in hotel rooms. Occasionally I program on it when I don't have a choice, but I'm far less productive than on my regular workstation, both because of the ergonomic problems and because I haven't invested the time to set up all my usual software the way I like it. (Am I a dinosaur? Does everyone else have a laptop as his primary machine these days?)

As a college student I have noticed many of my peers have to make the choice between a desktop and a laptop. The laptops often win because of their ability to be carried to classes and to collaborate with peers. Having a whiteboard to collaborate on at school and a computer right there to program on afterwards is very nice.
