I would expect them to do so, but there is another solution: you can use a remote desktop on a beefy server and run your programs there and then use it from a nice portable machine. I think Mac has their own, but I use NoMachine and it basically just works and can work with different client and server OSes. On the client side it is just video decoding so it is not very demanding - and it uses less bandwidth than I would think.
