  Oddly 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.

    Usually 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.

      Indeed, 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.

  we'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

    > 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.
