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 )

Always.
Doesn't mean I'm going to work from home (although I often do, for my own convenience).
It stops it from being stolen if the office has been broken in to (happened to some of my colleagues … but not me).
I can continue to work if the office is unexpectedly unavailable - this has happened to me twice - once for severe weather and once for an evacuation due to a suspected terrorist device.
I can attend on-line meetings with my colleagues in foreign climes without having to stay in the office late or get in really early (I'm in the UK but I have colleagues in India and Hong Kong - our meetings tend to be quite short!)
Oh - and it's company policy (kept the least important until last  )

I very rarely use it from home, but do take it with me every night so I don't have to choose between taking a day off and coming into the office despite having a minor illness (mild cold, diarrhea, etc) or something else that requires me to be home.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not I. When necessary I remote it. Kinda defeats the purpose of a portable computer ...

My employer is concerned about business continuity, so yes.

My laptop machine is at home... the office is at home... it (very) occasionally goes to a client meeting.

I do in case for some reason I want to work from home the next day. My employer doesn't want me to always work from home, but I can anytime something comes up.

For the past few years I’ve been disappointed and, frankly, saddened at Apple’s lack of innovation. They do a fantastic job of waiting till the tech is ready before launching their own, extremely well thought out and polished interpretation of that technology. I love their hardware and their entire ecosystem integration. It’s magic.
However, over the past few years they have turned inwards and have simply polished and refined old products while others move ahead. They focus on making a keyboard thin instead of making it a pleasure to use. They focus on making a phone bigger instead of more personal. They focus on removing ports instead of making connecting easier.
Panos Panay is possibly the most annoying presenter ever, but that was an awesome reveal at the end of the Microsoft event today.
Not sure about the whole Android thing on a Surface device (and dude - where’s the camera??) but it was well played.
