Of course! Yeah it’s great to get it properly spun up
You’ve definitely struck on the #1 issue with managing multiple devices: file management. If you’re in the middle of a project on one machine how can you ensure everything you need is on your other machines? What you’re describing is loosely what the cloud and/or a NAS aims to provide.
The other issue on my end is the practical maintenance of each device. Updating software, applying workflow changes on multiple devices, remembering to charge each device, etc.
It’s a tough balance for sure, and at least in my journey I do think for the first time in a while I’m going to add a new device to my daily workflow—a dedicated editing machine. It’s more for compartmentalization and having a focused OS without everything else on it. Luckily my NAS allows easy maintenance outside software updates, and I’m looking at a desktop so no batteries ![]()
