Well, these guys aren't working, as far as I'm concerned, if they can do it without bringing out a mouse and real keyboard and probably a second monitor. (My laptop bag is pretty heavy.) They can at best be checking emails.

Agreed.

If you can do your work on a 13" laptop with no mouse or external monitor without your productivity dropping off a cliff, you were never productive to begin with.

I disagree on the external monitor, not everyone need one or they are just used to using it, also how the OS is scaled matter too

Yeah, tbh I'm fine working as a graphic designer on my single 24-inch screen, not sure what I'd put on another one.

Though I imagine it might be useful when gaming to put a guide or spreadsheet on a smaller, vertical screen.
