With a beefy PC workstation and a 4090, you can work well without proxies as long as you don't do too much fancy stuff. BRAW is very efficient and balancing the load between CPU and GPU.
The mobile 4090 is considerably weaker and a waste of money in a laptop, IMHO. The best solution might be a cheaper laptop on the road and a beefy desktop workstation for finishing, if you need NR or speed changes. Mine does 12K with some light primary grading and is playing it smoothly, but the GPU is pretty much at full load.
Newer MacBooks should handle it even more lightly, my laptop is in the sig.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.
