Mirroring computers

Hey /g/,
is it possible to install the same OS on two computers and keep them synced when needed (meaning that when I'm done working on Computer 1, I use some script that does the work to update Computer 2, no need to check every second, especially since both computers would not be connected to each other every time).
I've thought of two things, like using an external disk (at the cost of speed/limited number of writes, having to travel with again another peripheral...), or copy-pasting manually (at the cost of time, and it would only sync the important documents, not the whole system), but neither looks very good.
My questions then: is it possible, and if so, what's the best method to do it that would require next to no effort? Would rsync be good for that, and would Computer 2 work exactly like Computer 1 if I rsync'd from 1 to 2, including programs and all that? For the sake of simplicity, I intend to use whatever linux distro, and of course the same one across the two (and maybe more?) computers.
tl;dr want to have two mirrored computers, how do?
Any help would be appreciated.
