Let’s say you have a slow laptop which can’t handle Visual Studio but a blazingly fast desktop that can. Let’s also say that you want to develop in several rooms in your house. Are there any drawbacks to having Visual Studio running on the desktop and simply using the laptop as a way to access it remotely? I’d guess that the only thing that you would be concerned about would be the network latency, but if the two computers are on the same network that should be minimal.
Do it.
Since you are running Visual Studio in your own local network, the main drawbacks (security and latency) are not there. In addition, you get the speed of your desktop and the mobility of your laptop.
