I prefer a powerful laptop + monitor + keyboard for work. Sometimes I like to take my laptop somewhere else and work, like when there's a meeting in a conference room or I want to work from a coffee shop for a little while, etc.<p>It's a pain to keep to computers in sync with one another, set up exactly how you want, etc.
I go with the powerful laptop with externals. I want the power with me, on the go, so this is the best of all possible worlds.<p>I have two laptops, as well.<p>2016 MBP w/Touch Bar (full specs)<p>Dell XPS 9560 (full specs), runs Windows 10<p>At home I have a Dell UP3216Q (32" 4K display)<p>and a pair of external keyboards and mice (a separate pair for each laptop)
