Does anyone use two Mac setups to work? ie laptop studio and desk top remote?

Digitalocean

I'm looking for the most straight forward way to go. I need to switch out my desktop and now is probably the time to reset. I also have a new laptop M1 2 TB. My Plug-in are just under 1 TB, so I'm thinking to just put all on an external and just take the external when I want to use the laptop. There is a NI Access option to Relocate all their plug ins, but doing so, I would think would leave Logic Pro X projects disconnected from the locations. Perhaps a Re-scan would solve that? Any input is appreciated.
