I did the opposite; Chromebox on desk and MBP on lap. I pay Google about ~$7 per month to run an Ubuntu instance in the cloud so I can write and compile things.

I was leaning towards getting an iPad Pro for on the go, but it's a bit pricy for only running a Prompt. I still love Apple products, but as I've gotten older I see computers as tools to solve specific problems, not toys to tinker and play with. Chromebooks solve problems at a nice price.
