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.

I have two laptops, as well.

2016 MBP w/Touch Bar (full specs)

Dell XPS 9560 (full specs), runs Windows 10

At home I have a Dell UP3216Q (32" 4K display)

and a pair of external keyboards and mice (a separate pair for each laptop)

Damn, that's like $10k

Yes, it is. Since it's for my business, I don't screw around. I've never ever regretted buying a full-spec machine. I've always regretted skimping and buying something that didn't have the juice when I needed it.

It's interesting to read this. I wonder if you would change your mind if $5,000 would make or break your business. The odds of that happening are small, but still possible.

These odds of needing a full spec'd machine are also small but still possible.

Either way I guess I'm saying that an opportunity cost of ~$5,000 is significant.
