Would you then recommend not taking AC anywhere (such as on the laptop) and instead logging in through GoToMyPC or something similar?
You will of course need internet access. But that's what I do every day. I use LogMeIn, which has a free version with no time limit, and "Pro" version $70/year. GoToMyPC is 30 day free trial and $99/year.
Any security concerns with doing that?
No,
very secure connection.
