Actually this is what I’ve been doing for the last year
When I read this post by a staff member about remote destkop I was really curious, because I tried to connect to my desktop PC but the experience was awful (due to Graphics Acceleration not enabled by default on windows when you connect remotely)
This changed my life, really, I can now use heavy software even when I’m working on a potato laptop or tablet, the main issue is that you need a good connection (and if you travel you know that it could be an issue… I tried to work on the train in a 4 hours trip from my town to Rome, and there was no connection at all 
By the way this is so useful even for other software, for example a friend was unable to use Maya remotely because it doesn’t work with the “Microsoft Basic Render Driver’” and he’s now using it daily.
The worst part is that I have 3 4k 32" monitors at home and it’s really hard to switch to 2 FHD 14" when I travel…
