Regards PC in the room vs laptop: I prefer the laptop and I carry it out of the room for what I perceive as two advantages:
1- The only legs the laptop gets are mine.
2- The only snot nosed little kid touching the keyboard is me. That includes procedures, if I have an I&D or other procedure, the computer is back in my office on the charger and doesn't re-enter the room until the odor of bleach is fading away.
