I completely disagree, it is probably the best platform currently for this - and the way I run it is as a server with tailscale accessible from my coding machine (same as you suggest here) - the difference is that you can stop the server, use it as a video editing rig on a whim, or use it for training instead of inference (yes PyTorch has caught up and Metal is a great platform for this now).

It’s just so flexible, and I even use it in agent mode (ds4) directly on the machine as well sometimes (it’s really not that bad, I’m often running inference for small side projects on my couch), if there is another machine that can do all of this and still function as one of the more ergonomic, well built, and compact laptops out there, I’d love to hear what it is cause I’d likely be interested!
