I completely agree with this article. My problem is sacrificing my two glorious 24" monitors for a tiny laptop screen. I feel the sacrificed real estate really bites into the productivity gains of being in a place like a coffee shop.
- pasbesoin 16y agoSome company recently announced a portable monitor. It was kind of ridiculously overpriced, but in absolute terms readily affordable, and apparently quite transportable. The protective case flips down somehow to become the stand. Dimensions were about on par with having another 14" or 15" laptop screen. Sorry I don't have the reference at hand.

- trotsky 16y agoI'm not sure if I just have a different perspective about this than most people, but in my opinion you can easily overdo the whole office at the coffee shop thing. If a spot I stopped at for a quick chat with someone or a bit of coffee suddenly started having folks with laptops + extra monitors, I'd be pretty unhappy.
