My job gave us laptops and docks. At home or in the office, you use the dock and get your monitors and desk no problem. But can still use it as just the laptop if the need arises. Good middle ground.

This thread is getting more ridiculous by the minute. I'm working on laptops for ages now. Most apps are simply always full-screen, as they would be on any monitor below 30". I use a stand and an external keyboard at home, but nothing is keeping me from fiddling the keys on the laptop itself. My neck can thankfully swivel up and down.

Once upon a time, when I got sick of northern winter, I went to Egypt and worked from there for two weeks. Did some walking around during the day, coded in the hotel suite for a while. Then at 18 o'clock sharp the sun falls beyond the horizon, the tourists disappear from the beach, meanwhile I walk out and sit in a beach chair with my laptop, enjoying the fresh breeze. Had a great time.

Likewise, in summers skating to a local park and around it, then sitting down at a tree and mashing some buttons with a view of the lake before me was glorious.

I used to have to wait till after hours to run backups and such on our servers and verify things, I wish I would have had a small laptop for that. Instead I used to drive half way home to a hole in the wall beer bar and sit down, and run them remotely from my phone. Pinching and zooming was a pain, but sitting in the office would have been wasteful, in 2-3 years of running them I only ever once thought I might have had to drive back to reboot something manually, then it came up before I finished my beer and was set for the day. That way I was already half way home, and didn't have to sit by my lonesome being bored waiting

Yeah but my proper desk at home has soo much more potential for distractions...

Actually getting stuff done is easier when I'm away from home on my laptop, but the ergonomics really suck.

The laptop is for use when a proper computer isn't available.

I recently installed a 49 inch screen, and using my laptop now feels even more like using a cell phone.

so like massive mirror like this:

or something more personal.

I recently did my Title IX training modules from my laptop while fishing on a pier over the Pacific Ocean.

Was probably the best time I ever had doing Title IX training.

I truly feel I know how to sexually harass now... while holding a fishing rod.
