Apple Silicon M1: A Developer's Perspective

Much of the development world has moved to laptops, docks for ergonomic desktop use, and cloud compute for when beefier hardware is needed. As a developer, I haven't used a desktop machine either at work or at home in well over a decade.

This is all off topic in any event.

Sorry to hear that. I tried to use a top-of-the-line 2019 MacBook Pro for some development while on the road and it doesn’t come close to a desktop, even when it’s augmented with external monitors, etc.

“Compared to the desktop (sitting), tablet and laptop use resulted in increased neck flexion (mean difference tablet 16.92°, 95% CI 12.79-21.04; laptop 10.92, 7.86-13.97, P < 0.001) and shoulder elevation (right; tablet 10.29, 5.27-15.11; laptop 7.36, 3.72-11.01, P < 0.001).”

“These findings suggest that using a tablet or laptop may increase neck flexion, potentially increasing posture strain.”

And it is on-topic enough for both the link and the OP.

You seemingly don't know what a docking station actually is.
