A little box like this could allow you to plug big big monitors to any laptop though [1] (been using it and works fine). I almost never open up the laptop and use it directly.

... You can put a big disk on a laptop, USB3 hub, etc etc

I think main thing missing for me is a beefy GPU and maybe a bit more RAM.

Yeah I just use a kvm switch. I keep my base work and life on a laptop that can go anywhere I go, and then hit a little switch and do all the heavy lifting work and gaming on the pc

But then you pay extra for hubs, along with the higher price of a laptop, just to get feature-parity with a desktop.
