At least for me, I like having a single computer so I don't have to put any effort in keeping two computers synced. Modern laptops can be 4+ core, 16GB+ RAM, and can handle a lot. At my last job I had this monstrous HP "workstation" laptop and I used the size/weight as an excuse to never take it home. But it was useful to be able to carry it to presentations and meetings.
Every place I've worked in the last 8 years has provided a docking station and external monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse, etc. Apart from fan noise, it doesn't feel any different from a desktop.
At my last workplace there were a few business folks who used their 14" laptop keyboard and monitor and never used the company provided peripherals. I can't understand that at all, but everybody has their preferences. If a company expected me to only use a laptop screen I think I'd strongly consider not accepting the job offer!
