What do you do for monitors? I need 4 screens.

  Really? People are plenty productive on a single monitor every day. I have no idea what you do or who you work for, but it seems like "need" might be a bit of an exaggeration.

    I trade stocks so I need many charts open. Also another screen to code on. The issue is libraries don't have monitors in general so a single laptop screen is not ideal.

  Four 'virtual desktops' on linux are free out of the box and you can't look a four physical screens at the same time in any case.

  I don’t work in libraries often, but I have one 1920x1200 monitor on my desktop and a laptop at 1400x900. I’ve used multiple monitors before but I always find that I direct my attention to one or the other primarily. I guess you could bring two separate laptops with similar software and use one as a web browsing machine and the other as a text editor/compiler/version control system machine. I can’t say I’ve tried that but it sounds like it would be a little challenging with multiple power supplies and finding a bag big enough to carry both comfortably.
