The comparison is between a laptop having just the one screen VS a laptop with another screen squeezed in irrespective of the angle.
As long as I can have my terminal down there or my Lightroom film strip or a Youtube podcast open, that's a lot better experience than just one screen. Yes, it's a compromise from an actual desktop environment, but still a huge step up from not having any extra screen.

- asenna 7y agoYes, and I carry one around in my backpack all the time. But it's not convenient in many situations. As I posted elsewhere: > One of the reasons I'm excited about a built-in second screen is, I don't need to carry another extra device (second screen or iPad). I mean even if I need to use an ipad, I'm currently slouching on my couch. I need a flat surface to keep that ipad/screen at the right angle. Sounds petty but it's just very convenient to have more real estate on your lap (or on a flight or cafe table).
