I dont think there is an MBP equivalent in hardware. That said , i wonder why do developers work in laptops, which are extremely anti-ergonomic and generally terrible for working long hours. My solution is a good thinkpad + a docking station with a big screen, mechanical kbd & vertical mouse.

For me personally:

- A trackpad is much faster and more ergonomic than a separate mouse

- Being able to just pick up your workstation and take it to a meeting, a colleague's desk, or home is extremely convenient

- As you say, you can always hook them up to a dock if you need a different arrangement for long hours

Agreed. I usually am at my desk and use an external monitor and keyboard/mouse. But when I am away from my desk, the laptop matters.

I prefer using the built-in keyboard and trackpad even at my desk (2015 MBP). I plug in an external monitor, but I mostly use the laptop as a laptop.
