When I did pairing (see other comments of mine), we used our own laptops. That way, we could both have our own setups that we were comfortable in. It did mean that switching often consisted of a git commit to our branch that we later squashed out. We didn't always bother switching laptops though and we also worked remotely about half the time (using screenhero at the time, I miss SH). > And assign someone on the team to be the tea-mug refiller for the day. I disagree with this. I found frequent breaks to be very important. Pairing is exhausting. "Lets get more tea/coffee" was a good way to have a short break. I think frequent breaks also made using different laptops easier, since its natural to switch drivers after a short break. We didn't have breaks on every switch, of course, but on many we did. The breaks were often only a few minutes, but getting away from the screen even for three minutes really helped.
