I have a laptop, because sometimes I stay away for long periods, so it is easier.
But, I have a room in my flat, which is only for me = "access denied to everybody!!"- Joking!
Actually I have a CD-player, my desk with my translations (yes some are on a paper format), printer, fax, books (my favourite books), my pool (when I need a break, I play for 10 mins) and obviously my laptop.

My office is a downstairs bedroom in my house. It has 3 desks arranged in U-shaped form with two all-in-one desktop computers each with 22-inch monitors, a laser duplex B&W printer, an inkjet color printer, fax machine, etc., flanked by several matching file cabinets.
The best part is the bookshelves: my companion made 6 three-shelf units that hang on the wall over my workspaces. Without leaving my chair, I can reach up and pull down my hardcopy dictionaries. I love them!

In 2008 I installed two skylights, so now I have natural light all day long. The window looks out on a greenbelt with trees. ▲ Collapse

I answered other because I spend about half of my time working at my desk in my office ( I assume that's what is meant by "dedicated workspace") and half the time sitting in an armchair in the living room with a laptop.
I've found that changing work areas relieves some of the boredom involved with long translations and gives me a different perspective on my work.
But I normally sit at the dining room table
