I am staying with low-ish powered laptops and offloading heavy computation to remote servers. It helps that I don't do much graphics or gaming though.

Same, part of why I picked an X1 gen 9 over the 10 (if I remember correctly) was that the difference in chip mainly affected battery life with only marginal improvements to performance with the newer chip.

I already kinda do this with my current machine. When I get to work I plug the P1 into my dock and it stays there until I go home. If I need to access my computer from elsewhere I have a second laptop that I use to remote into the P1 to do stuff. My only qualm is my light laptop (T14s gen 2) doesn't do dual 4k displays at 60hz with my dock. Also remote desktop always just kinda sucks compared to actually being at the computer.

And I like the good GPU for the few times a year I'm traveling and want to play a game. I just wish they'd make an AMD version of this laptop that's actually capable of battery life. I've gotten as bad as less than 30 minutes of charge on this device.

You have the wrong dock then.

Neither the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 WorkStation Dock nor the USB C dock support dual 4k displays over USB connections, only Thunderbolt. And the T14s Gen 2 AMD is only USB C.

Actually looks like the USB C dock is supposed to do it, but my displays don't like it.
