You should try Steam streaming - you can run your full and regular desktop in it (by using fake passthrough apps), and is how I often use Lightroom and Solidworks from my Macbook in bed.

Coming from VNC and Remote Desktop, it's remarkable how low the latency is. In many cases, because I can get a signifcantly higher framerate by remote rendering, the latency is better than if I was doing stuff locally.

For games, it's worked pretty well with everything you'd be happy playing with a gamepad (e.g. GTAV, but not CoD).
