If you need "real engineering work" done, why use middling desktop PCs? Why not move to server farms in the cloud?

Big screens. I have my circuit board designs up on a 28" 4K screen.

Latency. Not all engineering tasks are based on static data.

Tools. Few easily allow you to farm out your simulations. Many tools have decades of development in them. You could in theory develop them for tablets, but there's not been a good business case for that.
