£3,700 is just a monumental amount of money.
You'd be much better off buying a cheaper laptop (even a MacBook, or MBP without TouchBar) and a more powerful desktop (Hackintosh if you will)

...or five cheaper laptops. You could do that and still have money to spare.
Then you could make a big laptop dispenser, shaped like a gigantic Kleenex box, and just discard your computer whenever the screen gets a bit dirty.
But it's a huge hassle keeping application settings, development environments, large datasets or VM images, etc in sync on two computers.
With a single laptop I can just unplug the monitors and keyboard, and go to a client meeting or a hackathon without checking that everything is set up on the laptop.

Perspectives. I wouldn't throw that much money on a laptop BTW.
Hell its almost worth it to do a hackintosh laptop and desktop but I don't want to have to deal with supporting it. I like at least one of my machines to "just work" and Apple hardware is nice.
Regardless I'm not buying new until the price goes back down!
