Same. Lenovo ideaPad i7-4700MQ 2.6Ghz /16 GB ram.
My home machine is an absolute powerhouse beast Clevo i7-6700 Skylqke 4.00Ghz with 64GB Corsair Aveneger 1333Mhz RAM along with nVidia GTX 1070. All that power!!
I use it solely to connect to my Bell PVR, watch movies, and listen to some podcasts. The cooling system rarely comes on LOL.

All the time, but I'm a consultant - I can work from home more than I can work at the customer site.
Funny, even if I lock up my laptop and leave it at the customer site (long term debug thing going on), it just feels wrong to leave it there....

It always lives at home - or on special vacations where I might need to work (I don't ask for Paid Time Off if it comes along with me - it means I'm still working).
More likely, however, if I carry any laptop anywhere, it's my "dirty" machine which never connects to anything of the least importance.

I don't. I wrote a little backup utility I use extensively and everything of any importance lives on a 32GB flashdrive that I keep with me. USB v3 of course. I found a deal at newegg and got three of them for four bucks each. I have everything I wrote at my previous three employers on there too and that's rather handy since it covers over twenty years of work. Surprisingly, much of it is still relevant for me since I still use MFC to write desktop apps but that will change when we choose a suitable successor and clear up enough time for the rewrite(s). BTW - these aren't really desktop apps. They are actually automation systems that control machines and/or talk to other stuff.

I take my home laptop to work!

I'm self-employed working from home so yeah, I take my laptop dev machine home. In fact my 4 y/o laptop travels when I travel, usually one day a week. I actually despise working on the smaller keyboard/single screen and gave up long ago on the crappy trackpad with invisible buttons.  It'll work in a pinch but is no substitute for a real workstation with all the goodies.

Mine has a port replicator at home, so I connect to dual monitors (portrait and landscape) and proper keyboard and mouse. Even last week when I 'took my show on the road' I brought along the keyboard and mouse.

I also take my laptop with me wherever I go.

My work machine is a desktop, so no. My home machine is a laptop that I use to remote desktop to the work machine, so does that count?

We all take ours home, they don't like us leaving our lappies at the office, due to break-ins etc. And some of us are on stand-by for support, so we need them with us anyway. And if something were to happen that we couldn't go into work (due to transport, etc.) we havee our dev machine with us.

Nope but it stays plugged in and available at office, use my home machine to remote if anything needs doing ( nicer setup than having to fire the laptop up at a table or something )
