For 5k, you can get a laptop and a desktop.

If you're at your desk, use the desktop. Are you in meetings 8 hours a day?

When I say VNC, I also mean anything like it (remote desktop etc...)

I'm an electrical engineer and we use laptops and we VNC into linux workstations to do very compute intensive things.

If you need the computational horsepower and portability, why not have a desktop and VNC into it through your laptop?
