Often on my laptop, but also on my workstation at my desk sometimes. The overheads are minimal.

It's mostly the computer science / engineering crowd using it, as they're actually writing code and using Git for that purpose. But I've seen slides etc. in there, but usually it would be with code for a class. There are others using it for notes etc. but if Git thinks you're checking in a `binary blob' (Word doc. etc.) it just stores another copy, so you don't get the benefit of being able to diff changes. It still works for storage though.
