I did that in my last interview. Brought a computer, told them I hate whiteboard tests. They were pretty skeptical from that point on and I didn't get the job.

  Perhaps there is a way to introduce the idea without inducing such skepticism. Our meeting rooms have a large TV in each, so one could plug in and mirror your display, but you could also likely bring your own projector. (OK, that's probably outside anyone's budget, especially mine.) You might pitch it as something like, "I tend to sketch it roughly at first, and refactor heavily while I'm making an initial solution. Since refactoring is so much easier in a programmer's editor, I'd like to write in vim/emacs/pycharm, and project it on the tv/wall so we can discuss it." ... I'm not sure how that would work if they didn't already have conference rooms wired with monitors, though. If your solution would fit in a screen without scrolling, it probably would work similarly well as a whiteboard.
