As someone who spends significant amounts of time on the road, a setup like this can be a godsend. You mention more CPU, more SSD, more memory, just keeps getting cheaper and you’re right. You can get a pretty amazing laptop for not much more than an iPad Pro and it will handle nearly any workload. The problem is now you have to carry that and all of the batteries and accessories around. It’s so much easier for me to bring my iPad Pro 11” with a keyboard case and remote into a desktop environment for those workflows that either require a high end machine or Windows. I imagine a Surface would be even better. Personally, I just don’t want to carry a massive laptop to get compute if I can access it remotely just fine. So that’s what I do. I have multiple VMs running Windows or Ubuntu on a high end Ryzen machine with multiple Nvidia GPUs. That’s significant more power than I could ever hope to bring with me on the road. For me the only major setback is screen real estate. Hoping one day some of these HMDs can fix that.
