This is the way
You get all the power of a PC. There’s literally no better way to work on the go, and you can buy the cheapest little laptop known to man.
Have you looked into streaming from a desktop? I’m using sunshine/moonlight to stream my video editor from gaming PC to Thinkpad and it works really well! The quality and responsiveness is really good these days to the point where it’s hard to even tell it’s a stream.

I’ve used them quite a lot to stream games from a PC to a Steam Deck and a Nvidia Shield and agreed that the 2 projects are fantastic.

When you say stream you mean remote desktop, right?

The functionally, not the tech, yes. Sunshine and moonlight is a more performant alternative to native remote desktop (rdp).

I meant remote desktop generically rather than RDP. Is sunshine & moonlight just another alternative to VNC (except better performer?).
Kissaki@feddit.org 6 days ago
I would say so, yes.
(I’m not the original commented, but I do use them too.)
They came to be after Nvidia published their gaming streaming as an open source alternative. Nvidia dropped their product. Sunshine and moonlight still actively develop.
Personally, I use them to stream my desktop to TV, for desktop, watching stuff, and sometimes gaming.
