I am a developer and my company is moving towards a "no laptop" policy in fear of them being lost or stolen and source code being compromised. Now I don't work for NASA, the military or anything labeled Top Secret but our code is very important to our business nonetheless (as all source code would be). I'll be honest, I disagree with this policy against laptops and wanted to see what others think. I'd like to know:

  1. What is your team/company's stance on laptops
  2. Your company's size and/or field (small, medium or large, Fortune 500, etc).
  3. Whether you've had to take any extra precautions (signing any additional legal, ensure your hard drive is encrypted, etc).

Thanks!
