At work I use a combination of a MacBook Pro and data/compute servers.
At home I have an old but robust Dell Studio XPS 9100 with 24GB of memory.
I've recently given it a boost with an Nvidia 1080 so my husband and I can do deep learning at home.
Productivity
Artificial Intelligence
Coding & Development
When writing testable code I work on my laptop and use VS Code.
Other
Most often the MacBook functions as a music player since all of my research work is done via ssh to AWS P2 GPU instances.
