This is not quite what you are talking about, but I do all my 
development efforts on one hefty Linux server running a GUI Linux 
desktop accessed via a VNC session I ssh into.

I have a Windows laptop at my office that does my web browsing and email 
and I just bring up the server VNC session to do design work. Likewise I 
ssh into the same VNC session with a Linux laptop at home. The VNC 
session is constantly up so I don't have to worry about losing my place. 
I can also go into a lab and bring up my VNC session on a lab computer.

This way my laptops do not need to be powerful or need to save state and 
I don't need to physically drag them around if I don't want to.
