A comment on I am seriously considering going back to desktop computers. Parent comment
CAD, for example, barring new geometry work in progress now, is single threaded.
People working on high surface count models want these things:
Big, fat, fast cache
Sustained sequential compute performance
Sustained I/O
GPU that focuses on geometry and precision. This is not generally an issue today, but can be on laptops.
Desktop machines with active cooling are where it is at.
