Why not just spin up an adhoc build server on demand and use whatever laptop you want to?
I don't know about the compilation procedure but how hard is it to spin up a beefy CPU intensive server ($300/mo = $0.2 per 30 min use), let it git pull your work, compile, upload the binary to some storage, notify you and shut down automatically?
This way, you can close your laptop and move while compiling.
Much cheaper than not being able to choose the laptop you want the most.
These days, you can be a bit more creative than do it all on your machine.

How is it related? I'm not dismissing some business idea but merely providing an idea to make personal computing easier and I'm not giving lazy-to-accomplish idea?
Because some people want to just open their laptop and do everything locally for whatever reason, not be dependent on an internet connection and managing cloud clusters and related expenses.
