To have a M1 chip, you need a new laptop. A new Intel/AMD laptop would bring you plenty performance not to require remote desktop as a service.
- MomoXenosaga 4y agoI looked into remote desktop services but in the long run you're cheaper off just buying a computer
- pclmulqdq 4y agoEven for gaming and workstation use, this seems to be true. Last year, the value proposition of remote desktops looked great, but it turns out price/performance of all computing parts was at an all-time high.
