However, I have some upcoming changes in life which will dictate using some form of laptop an hour or two a day on my local network and three or so days a month from the road ( with a slow 2mbit up/down connection ).

I dread thinking of going back to the macbook for this. It's a 16" and super heavy, and the battery will hardly last 2 hours of zoom calls, much less running chrome and ff at the same time for webdev.

Do you have recommendations on hardware and software to fill these gaps? Do I have to invest in a beefy laptop with a large battery or can I get away with some sort of rdp? What do you use personally?
