Ya got me there.

Was more aiming at refraining from browsing the Web on a DS Laptop.

Anyway there's no point having drive laptops separate from programming laptops - it's easier to have the tools all in one place

I said in the post that not all of the list is necessary.

Though, I have found that having clutter around a desktop or memory device can be disruptive. Write and read times also take longer as an SSD fills up. I'll take every split second of boot time I can get on a Driver's Station Laptop.

I have also found that programmers usually prefer programming on their personal laptops- its easier to work at home.

To each, their own.
