I have been using a laptop and a docking station for a while now. I think this is the optimal configuration.
- no / very little noise
- no need to synchronize between work / home (Given that I also have a docking station at home, I essentially use my laptop as a portable hard drive with a screen)
- I can take my current work to meeting rooms anytime.

- stinos 10y ago> no / very little noise Doesn't that heavily depend on usage? At least I've never had a laptop which wouldn't turn into a noise generator once you start compiling, computing or heavy imaging/editing. But yes a single machine + docking station at home and one on the job isn't a bad solution
- hocuspocus 10y ago> Doesn't that heavily depend on usage? At least I've never had a laptop which wouldn't turn into a noise generator once you start compiling, computing or heavy imaging/editing. Exactly. For the past decade I've built desktop computers that are silent no matter the load (I don't do any GPU heavy work). I really cannot say that for my work laptops.
- bnegreve 10y agoTrue, still it fits me because I run most of the stuff on remote machines. But I this can be a problem indeed.
- mrkgnao 10y agoI've never heard my Chromebook (Asus, I think a C7[24]0) make any noise, although I do always have a fan running in my room.
