My office is about 80% office, 20% man cave but the idea that everyone now works solely on laptops and migrates around the house is flat on it's face silly.

Personally I can't stand working on a laptop in any serious capacity. During an emergency if I need to VPN into work quick and restart some problem child machine? Sure. Actually sitting and building something from scratch? God no. I mean with a gun to my head I could make it work but given any other options, be it a table, a desk, preferably with my Thunderbolt displays, I'd choose a real surface over lounging with a laptop any day.

When I do sit down to do some writing though my Surface shines, it's the only computer I've been able to use comfortably not sitting. Maybe this is just something the author and their co-workers experience also being writers. But yeah, any serious mental heavy lifting work happens in my office.
