There are two types of laptop users - those wanting a portable machine, light, good enough for a short amount of ssh or vim and maybe a webpage or two The other type are those looking for a luggable desktop, those who hotdesk but don’t really work on the go. There’s then who want both, but that has proven to be a mugs game. No matter how much money you throw at it you end up with compromises on portability it power. I for one stick with a 2015 era desktop and a 2013 11” MacBook air and don’t have problems.

Nah, I don't fit into either of your categories. I'm perfectly happy with my 2015 13" MBP; I use it as my main machine, every day, doing my job as a dev: most of the time, at home, it's driving two monitors (and acting as a third screen itself), though right now I'm working in a cafe for a change. In both circumstances it's a great, sufficiently powerful, nice-to-use machine which I'm productive on. Getting this right _is_ possible. I do fear the day I have to "upgrade" though...
