If you work from the same computer in the same place everyday there are no advantages to having a remote box... If you work 50:50 from office & home you start getting annoyed by either having a different environment at home & work or by having to drag your laptop around with you... If you're a digital nomad wanting to work while travelling through "cheaper" parts of the world it's less worrying to carry around a $500 laptop than a $4000 laptop...
