I do regular web dev (whatever that means lol), but I also do a little bit of that "full build takes 45 minutes... if it doesn't fail because you only have 32GB RAM" dev.
But for that, any laptop sucks, so I've been using suitcase-sized desktops for .. well basically forever. But then in recent years it got so easy to develop on a laptop, but have everything running on a remote machine. I mean there's GitPod and GitHub Codespaces, and before that there were... uh, some web-based IDEs that didn't really work...
But then there came VS Code Remote so like as long as your laptop/[cyber|steam]deck can run VS Code and maybe some browsers, you're good to go!
So I mean OH FUCK IT WHY AM I STILL EVEN TALKING... WHOOOO!!! ORDERED
