Premiere/FCPX, After Effects, and Photoshop are not “legacy software” - but you covered those.
There are also lots of CAD/CAM tools that do not, and likely will never, run in browser.
I’d love a web-based version of IDA.
We’re still a ways off; 90% there is still a half day of work each week that I simply can’t do on iOS/browser/ChromeOS. For that stuff I need a “real computer”, and will for the foreseeable future.
It would be nice if iOS got a yellowbox, for example - running a desktop os x sandbox on my iPad Pro for the stuff that won’t ever switch would be really useful.
ChromeOS adding Linux in a VM was a brilliant move.
I'm a power user in three different directions - audio recording (like making records), serious photo editing, and software development. I'm drifting hard toward getting an iPad Pro for audio and photo work, and a Chromebook for software development and general-purpose browsing.
CAD tools are a fair point, but those seem much more niche than video games and creative. I'd assume that industry uses high end workstations anyway, and not laptops?
I truly don’t mean this as snark, but pretty much everyone who builds anything physical uses CAD.
They are as “niche” as image editors, or compilers, which is to say: not at all. Pretty much every object in your current field of view was likely designed with CAD, unless you live in an old house or have vintage furniture.
