I have a 3990X + 256GB RAM workstation with NVME drives.

My M1 Max MBPs absolutely do not "feel as fast" - but definitely feel proportionately faster for the cost.

That's quite the workstation!

I use my laptop as a thin client and have compute jobs running on the PC, which is now a Linux server. Best of both worlds I think.

Same arrangement as here. I wish I could transparently overflow to cloud when the local server gets bogged down by my demands.

I use my M1 Max MBP as a thin client, incidentally.

I have XRDP setup, but primarily use the machine heedlessly.
