Discussion on: Do you bring your laptop on vacation?

I semi agree but not for the reason you think.

I do not believe you need to go on vacation to disconnect, you should be able to "disconnect yourself" without needing to do or go anywhere special. You should be able to not check your phone during dinner, or during a day out with the family, or 15 minutes before bed.

I usually bring my laptop so I can spend some free time winding down and coding side projects a bit. Unless something is 100% on fire and no one else can fix it, then I wont be available, and even if I am, I will be only available when I choose.
