Yeah, that's exactly why I am looking for more RAM. While it's not a big deal to make a remote connection to the desktop most of the time, I would much rather just have more RAM in the laptop and not worry about being able to connect to the desktop.
Looks like Dell Precision m6300 that

I support a number of folks who do this sort of thing and have office computers with 16+ GB of RAM in them. While they'd like to have that much power in a mobile computer, what they usually end up doing is remoting-in to their desktop computer to do anything intensive.
