I haven’t seen very much of this in my experience. Most Mac using scientists and engineers I know use a MacBook for email/webrowsig etc. but when they need some serious computation they use an external cluster (which they talk to with their Mac).
That being said I do know one such scientist with the same workflow but who remoted into a Mac Pro, not sure what they are doing now.
