      Ah, yea, design work is intensive. I kind of figured it was something along those lines.

      So you have a portable workstation. Those beasts are just what you describe - heavy, massive power supplies, etc. I carried one for a short time, asked if I could downgrade! While it was nice to have the power, it was just too damn heavy (and too big). Damn thing kept my legs warm, all year round.

      Anymore I don’t want anything bigger than 14", and even that is slightly larger than I prefer, because I usually have a monitor.

        It’s a struggle. But then, I don’t need it to render a pixar movie. There are few cases when I need the graphic card, but I do. On the other hand a mac arm would fulfil that need (as much as I heard), because it’s got some specific bits in it that help that type of work. The moment I saw it, I knew I will replace my PC, when similar chips come out. But then they didn’t. And now, years later they might and they will be OK, while effing apple pushes the boundaries on chips. Insane. That’s the pcs job, not apples.
