Everyone where I work is issued a pretty decent laptop. Mine's a Dell Latitude E6430. I'm allowed to do whatever I like with it; I'm a Java developer so I moved it to Linux and I run Windows in a VM for the things that might really need Windows.
My personal laptop pre-dates my current position and it's MacBook Pro that's starting to get older. When my family and I went on vacation last year, I brought both laptops and did most of my work on my personal machine. Still, dragging around two laptops seemed so silly and the Dell has more than enough hard drive space for everything.
Even though I liked the Mac (and OSX), I decided to consolidate everything on the Dell. For me Linux is "good enough" and the hassle of trying to remember what resource is on what machine is mental overhead I just don't need. I sometimes think about buying a new personal laptop, maybe a new Mac, but the cost just doesn't seem worth it.
