• The one point against this is when you need a workstation laptop, because workstation laptops are WAY more expensive - especially the "workstation GPUs*. I know professionals who get gaming laptops all the time because it’s cheaper, believe it or not. Like one of the lower tier Lenovo gaming laptops, say a $800 laptop? If you wanted a “pure workstation” laptop, that’d run you about $2300-ish. Anything with “military grade motherboard” or something like that.

    Macs are excluded because Pro line is already expansive AF.
