Editing at home or on the go?

Where do you find it better to editing your MS? At the comfort of your own home, or out and about on a small laptop/netbook or tablet?

Music distract me, and coffee shops tend to have it playing, so I edit at home. I like being around people, though. I actually do a lot of writing in train stations, if I can. Fun places, good people watching, and although there's noise, it's not music, so it's easier to tune out.

Also find the idea of all the journeys about to start / end pretty inspiring.

Definitely at home on my laptop ... looking out at the garden.
