Indeed. I would rather take an excellent monitor, keyboard and mouse over a faster machine without them. Sadly this means I am pretty much limited to desktops as finding a laptop with a colour accurate 120Hz+ display with excellent keyboard seems to be impossible unless I look at some gaming laptop monstrosity that weights 5KG and has a 1 hour battery life. If anyone reading this know of a good laptop for development please let me know!

I can't offer you 120Hz, but the ThinkPad P51 with 4K screen has excellent colour gamut and accuracy and the best laptop keyboard in the business (with the possible exception of the old-style ThinkPad keyboard currently available only in the limited-edition "ThinkPad 25"). Battery life is pretty good.
Downsides: relatively bulky, pricey, no touchscreen or stylus input. (Upside of that: matt rather than glossy screen, which I think is difficult to combine with a touchscreen.)

Razer Blades? Not sure about refresh rate, but they have amazing keyboards and displays from what I hear
