most modern laptop don't allow you to update the RAM yourself anymore I thought

Unlike the Thinkpad T series :)

SN Sneak Preview: Responsive Images + Fullscreen Support

> how much more power do you need for dev work though, that you would need to ssh into a machine and not be able to do what you need to do on a semi-modern laptop?

The machine at home is _really good_, so it would be a waste to not use it.

And coding on SN in development mode for hot reload, browsing SN, a lot of tabs open + whatever else I am doing seems to eat up a lot of RAM. As you can see in the upper right corner of the video, I am already at 15GB RAM, so this laptop would need 32GB RAM.

I also don't like how hot laptops can get under load. Doesn't feel sustainable. My PC is constantly at 30°C-40°C
