Not really, I prefer to code on my 13" MBP. I have 24" monitor but I rarely ever use it. Ability to lay back and put legs on coffee table are more important to me.
- koolba 9y agoA huge desk, huge monitors, comfy executive chair, and a foot rest gives, IMHO, the best of all worlds.

- skeeterbug 9y agoReminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohcwksrvDOg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohcwksrvDOg
- koolba 9y agoHaha. The look on that guys face just made my day. I'd be paranoid that the monitor would fall on me. That may be good thing though as I'd avoid procrastination to get out of the danger zone as soon as possible.
- kbutler 9y agoI can't see how the mouse would avoid sliding down, without adding unacceptable (and perhaps asymmetric) resistance to motion.
- e59d134d 9y agoLooks great (if it is real) but for me I guess it is not about laying down but freedom to work from anywhere. Sometimes, I work from patio while smoking a cigar. Other times, I just need to try out a new coffeeshop on other side of town.
- tzs 9y agoI've thought of getting a dental exam chair and using it for something like that, mounting the monitor in place of the light. Dental exam chairs can be quite comfortable. The ones my dentist uses are comfortable enough I've almost fallen asleep during cleanings.
- FooHentai 9y agoTried something similar back when I was a student. The leaning back angle doesn't seem to work over longer than a few minutes, when you're trying to focus.
- rhn_mk1 9y agoI share that sentiment. A big screen doesn't mesh well with moving from one corner of the bed to another. Virtual desktops mostly solved the area problem for me: switching between code/result/docs is just a chord away. The rare situations where switching is happening all the time account for less than 10% of my usage.
