And nobody suggested buying desktop workstations?
A laptop is generally roughly half the speed of a decent decent desktop.
And from experience, even if mobility is sometimes useful, it's hardly the norm. Personally my laptop is used maybe 5% of the time at most outside of my work desk.
Cheap laptop for emails, meetings and occasional ssh into prod + powerful workstation would be a better option for me, and I'm guessing I'm not an exception. And this option is cheaper than a high-end Macbook pro.
