Get the laptop if you can, you can probably claim it for a reduction of taxes (keep the receipts). Keep it separate, always. You’ll appreciate being able to close the “work device” when the day is done. Also, very much lock it down–do not let friends/family “borrow” your laptop.

An “APL” for UI. Interesting stuff.
