story
When I go into either one of my corporate offices (rarely) or a client’s office, it’s nice to be able to just plug my laptop in the night before and not have to worry about a finding any place to plug it in during the day, going back and forth between conference rooms, etc.
I also go home to see my parents for a couple of weeks sometimes and work from there.
And I realize this is a very esoteric case. But I also do the whole “digital nomad” thing half the year.
It almost sounfs like you knew the answer to your question the entire time.
Also, there really isn't anything out there like a MacBook Air. Thin, light, fast, fanless (silent), and truly all day battery life.
I can connect to an external GPU via SSH or Jupyter from my MBP fine.
The internal GPU is also surprisingly capable for machine learning (which is the only usage I'm really interested in).
I gave up and went with cloud (ShadowPC).
Irrelevant given how easy it is to do. In macOS it's literally the equivalent of a feature flag.
