I want to build a Desktop computer mainly using it for work and classes. But the problem is that it is not portable. Would accessing it remotely be a viable option or should I just invest in a better laptop?

For example I would be using it to run virtual machines and development tools.

The problem with using a remote desktop is that you will be at the mercy of your network speed and connection.

If portability is a feature you are looking then invest in a decent laptop. You can still connect it to an external display, keyboard and mouse when you are at home for a desktop experience.
