Every time I get an underpowered developer laptop in the interests of mobility I regret it. When you do hit the ceiling, you end up doing some wierd workaround e.g. 'I'll just run all my docker on a server'. The sacrifice for the workaround is not accetable long term. If you need mobility, my suggestion is to get a powerful laptop without caring about mobility much, and a little netbook for road work.
