Interestingly, I have a similar career and I have never ever split personal and work businesses on different notebooks/phones. On the other hand I would never even consider working with a company that monitors my screen or has insight into the computer I'm working on.
- dguest 5mo agoI'm the same. When people who maintain this separation travel for work, do they just bring both along? My laptop is often the heaviest thing in my bag, I'd hate to bring two. [late edit: I meant work travel]
- egorfine 5mo agoI believe they do not bring work laptop. A separation is a separation.
- ruszki 5mo agoTravel doesn’t always mean vacation, or work. For me, it’s rarely only one.
- toxik 5mo agoI very rarely use my personal laptop. I stream on my phone, if I want a bigger screen, I either cast or use the app on the TV. So for me it's work laptop and two phones, not bad at all for the peace of mind. I literally turn off work. I used to run mixed, and I really wish I had changed earlier.
- onraglanroad 5mo agoWell I guess we all live very different lives :) I only bother with one phone plus an emergency backup because the only work things on my phone are a chat app and some authenticator codes. For laptops, I wouldn't take any on vacation because I'm not working. I'd take the work one for work trips.

- ruszki 5mo agoI don’t do those also on my vacations, but that’s only about 1/10 of my travels. And I don’t travel because of work, basically only for personal reasons.
- pesus 5mo agoI don't generally bring either. If I'm traveling, I'm on vacation.
- Tade0 5mo agoLast time I travelled for work I brought only my work laptop. But I do commute on bicycle with both in a bag clipped to a child seat. Combined weight of the devices is 4kg.
- janeerie 5mo agoYeah, I do. My personal laptop is a Macbook Air, so not too much of a burden.
- treis 5mo agoI used to boot from a USB stick
