Your laptop choice is one of the most expensive in the market and likely
much more expensive than the laptop the majority of developers use.
Buy an 11th Gen Intel NUC and a cheap laptop and access it remotely.

By your own analogy you want SPI to pay for your First Class ticket from
London to New York when there are cheaper alternatives.
