15" MacbookPro because it just works, integrates perfectly with phone and watch, great support etc. And after 3 years I can still sell it for a good price.

#12desktop, because it's fast and ergonomic
This, I never use laptop because it's slower than a good desktop and 2 to 3 times more expensive

#13Chromebook because it runs all day on a charge and I ssh into the many servers at cloud providers to perform the grunt work. Apps on Chrome are sufficient to whip up documents, etc if and when required. I use a desktop for editing images and running tests.

#142015 15" macbook pro.
It has sufficient computing power for software development and linux server management.
I've been a mac/linux user for all my adult life.
Simply put, I enjoy the hardware.

#15Mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro. Because I can (and have) easily take it apart to add SD storage and replace its previous hard drive, or battery, or etc. It pairs perfectly with my other devices. It can handle most post-production software I throw at it.
It's also a tank, built in the era before Apple got the idea that they can make their machines more flimsy and make more money.

Laptop(Dell M5510) only for meetings, I prefer a 12 inch, slim laptop, but my company only provide 1 option....

#17Dell Precision M3520. Good keyboard, good size, good complement of ports (3x USB3.0, HDMI, Thunderbolt, NIC, even VGA), excellent performance (i7 + expandable RAM + Quadro graphics), nice 1920x1080 screen too. Leagues above our standard XPS 13s for usability, if much larger and heavier. I have it running Ubuntu 18.04.

#18Now: X1 Carbon 1st gen. its tough as old boots and light as a feather. sadly its also pretty old now
Soon: Undecided, was going to be an x1 extreme until they put the price up by £500 for no reason so itll likely be an xps15 or a 13-14" laptop and an eGPU next
Re: What laptop are you using for your day to day work and why?
#19None. Laptops offer terrible value for money for the sort of work I do. I have an MS Surface Pro for when I want to work on the move (which is surprisingly great for what it is and the keyboard is far more comfortable than it has any right to be), but not for day to day work.

#20System76 Bonobo. My day job involves cloud (k8s) GPU stuff and it's the only linux laptop I could find with two Nvidia GPUs. The trackpad sucks ass, the power connector is stupid. It's full of batteries that only provide an hour (max) of battery and it's only a laptop in the sense that it can (technically) fit on my lap.
A coworker recently got the single GPU Serval, and I could see using that daily. Ubuntu 18.04 is a great desktop OS. I have tentative plans to take apart my Bonobo, remove the batteries, put power supplies inside with a standard power plug out the back and cut out the trackpad and fit in an Apple trackpad.
LXD+QEMU makes it a pretty nice machine. I almost don't miss OSX and this [0] project has solved a lot of those issues.
