But not, as you acknowledge, a laptop.
- NooneAtAll3 3y agojust ssh from a laptop then, you have 2k of a budget left
- haswell 3y agoThis highly depends on the use case and software involved.
- NooneAtAll3 3y agoremote desktop software is available for all platforms
- rowanG077 3y agoYes and all of them have piss poor usability. I don't want cringe everytime I use the mouse or god forbid type.
- laweijfmvo 3y agoyeah but the best laptop to do this from might also be a used M1 Macbook Air...
- theultdev 3y agoyay, compromises! who needs to work offline anyway.
- askonomm 3y agoOddly I haven't yet needed to work offline in my 12 year career as a software dev. But then again it's not common for internet to go away where I live.
- theultdev 3y agoUsually I only work on my laptop when I travel. When I travel there's not always reliable internet. Otherwise I use my PC at home. A laptop that needs internet is not a great portable.
- satvikpendem 3y agoIndeed, the only time I'd use my laptop is because I'm offline or out and about. There's no need to use a laptop if I'm at home, since, like you, I have a desktop.
- NooneAtAll3 3y agowe're talking about "M3 laptop substitute" if you actually need its performance, you'll have online access and most likely be stationary ssh (more like remote desktop tho) solution just allows you to bring that power anywhere in your house, e.g. in bed
- theultdev 3y ago> if you actually need its performance, you'll have online access and most likely be stationary So powerful laptops are always connected to the internet? What is that logic? I wish that to be true. I don't think internet emits from my laptop when I'm in a remote area just because of it's specs. If I'm using the laptop as a glorified monitor I'd just use a cheap chromebook or similar... No I need a powerful laptop to replace my powerful desktop because I'm away from it and I can't guarantee that I can connect to it.
