That way my servers and laptop's file structure and configuration stays the same. I can test on laptop, and then sync up to the server. Or if something breaks, can always sync down the files and check on laptop.
MacBook Pro. Build quality is amazing, but macOS is far far behind Windows.
For my personal machine, and LG Gram 17" - I think about 2 years old at this point - the value/hardware is a pretty great value IMO (and frequently goes on sale at Costco), it's ultralight (important for me), still has a number pad, and a 16x10 display, unusual IMO outside of the Mac world. And the screen is gorgeous. Maybe not Mac/Retina (but I run my Mac screen at highest resolution rather than Retina anyways, so it more similar than you'd expect).
Works like a charm.
At work I'm forced to use a MBP and I hate it, battery last 1h is always doing noises is painfully slow, nothing works well with M1, updates requires 1h lost on a black screen. And sometimes release broken things...
Thinkpad T410i running Debian.
Edit: Though I much much prefer to work on a desktop.
