I would love to, but how many Chromebooks have an i9, 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD?! (I wrote another comment for why I use a high-spec laptop: basically multiple VM's and greedy development tools).

Maybe a dumb question. But why run those VM's (or the development tools) strictly locally? I have a small server at home for that. Or alternatively there are free tiers on GCP/AWS/Azure. The advent and maturity of WebAssembly/PWA, could help there as well. But we're not there yet obviously.
