There was a bit of a plateau in the last years when intels processors stagnated but they could still improve their laptop parts. Now you can get a decent 8-core laptop that isn’t much slower than a desktop which might have 10-12 cores max. The new Ryzens may have ended this, and made 130W again usable to get more perf and cores and not just heat. Being able to shift locations even if just temporarily is still great. Perhaps the solution is to have a beefy desktop and a tiny but weak laptop with good battery, and just remote in to a desktop when on the move.
