    Like everything in this world, I think it’s situation dependent.

    I traveled for work, and would live out of a hotel room for 4-5 weeks at a time. I have a gaming laptop that doesn’t fit in the bin while going through TSA. Always got comments about it. But damn, if I didn’t love setting it up in my hotel room and leaving it there during my tour and being able to play some games during my evenings.

    It was WELL worth it!

      Yeah, I used to work a job where I was basically on call for 6 hours at a time, but didn’t need to do much unless something broke. I’d help set things up at the top of the day then tear things down at the end. But in between, I was basically just waiting for things to break. It’s safe to say that I used the fuck out of my gaming laptop and VPN at my desk. Because I obviously didn’t want to try playing games on a company computer.

      I played a lot of single player and idle games at that job, because those are easy to walk away from at a moment’s notice. Just hit pause and you can give your full attention to whatever problem has popped up. Then once it’s resolved, you’re right back where you left off.

      We have the best new scanners (I think they are CT scanners) at our airport. You don’t have to take out anything anymore since their new scanners can scan it anyways, somehow. Apparently you can also take any amount of fluid with you and you just keep it in your bag, which is neat.
