To be honest, I&#x27;m perhaps a bit &#x27;special&#x27; but my linux workstation is i7 5930k (6 cores, 12 threads) overclocked to 4.5Ghz, with 64GB of ram, and 2 BenQ 32&quot; 4K screen. I&#x27;m reasonably sure I can find something that big as a laptop!<p>Laptops are also <i>massively</i> more expensive than an equivalent desktop, while &#x2F;most people&#x2F; never move their laptop anyway.. I never really understood that. In fact, that big system&#x27;s entire hardware is very likely considerably cheaper than a &#x27;developer laptop&#x27;.<p>Personally, I use a crummy laptop if needs be, and I remote into the big workstation from wherever I am (I use x2go a lot).
