That’s not the right way to look at it. We never did this because you couldn’t get enough performance.

Now you can get performance off a battery for your entire work day for less money than the competition (if reports are to be believed).

In this scenario, would you render things in a cafe? Why not?

honestly, as a traveler and sometimes digital nomad, the real question is "why yes?"

There is no real reason to work in a cafe, except because it looks cool to some social audience.

Cafes are usually very uncomfortable work places, especially if you have to sit for hours looking at the tiniest of the details as one often does when rendering.

Maybe you’re hungry but it’s crunch time.

It’s like when the iPad came out and had a camera. “Who is going to lug around an iPad to take pictures!?!?”

But that’s exactly what I started seeing people do. Pull out iPads and take snaps.

Kind of yes .. but sometimes after years of working remotely you may find its nice to be hanging out where people are doing things even while you work
