I'm mainly a PC Windows guy but I have a MacBook Pro because I've never met a PC laptop that I actually liked. Apple wins hands down in the laptop game.

FWIW, If you have a chance to run a PC laptop that's using a high-end Clevo shell... running a desktop 6700k CPU, you might feel differently.  
Processing power is far beyond the highest-end MacBook Pro.
Has Thunderbolt-3 (via USB-C)
Downside is that it's expensive... and not a thin/svelte.  It's the H2 of Laptops.   

Regarding running multiple DAW applications:
 
If your main DAW application does all that you need, there's no real advantage to running others.
If you need specific features of one of the other DAW applications, then it makes good sense.
All just tools in the toolbox...
