The best office I ever worked in was an open office... with an open remote work policy. On any given day, only 15-30% of the office would be in; meaning while the office was "open", it was also usually empty and quiet. People came

I travel a lot for work with my X1 Carbon (7th gen i7), and have had no issues. I also have a t460s (current version is the t480s) which is also pretty decent and went through a ton of travel with no issues.

Outside the bay area, 95-120 is about the going rate for someone with those skills. Add a little for the bigger cities, and maybe 10k for every 3-5 years of experience.
