I'm the opposite. I can tolerate using a laptop if the screens big, but otherwise I don't want to program on it. I have a 23" (1920x1080) monitor and a "20.5"

I'm the opposite. I can tolerate using a laptop if the screens big, but otherwise I don't want to program on it. I have a 23" (1920x1080) monitor and a "20.5" (1600x900) monitor that I use both at one time to code on. I have a high-dpi mouse which once you get used to the sensitivty, is awesome with large monitors. Coding this way is great because I can use one large monitor for coding or UI design and the other monitor for looking up the documentation, reading a tutorial, or watching/listening to a lecture/talk (I tend to need background noise as I code). I don't really know if my productivity has increased since purchasing a larger monitor, but I know it's much more convenient now. Although I have programmed on a large laptop before and it was very helpful to code in a quiet place without distractions
