My primary computing device is a desktop PC. I have four monitors hooked up to it (two horizontal, two vertical). The primary monitor is for browsing. The secondary horizontal monitor is for coding. The two vertical ones are for things like reading logs/documentation, and for various chat apps (Slack/Discord/WhatsApp/Signal - yes I use all).
I started a new job recently and they got me a top of the line Macbook Pro. For the first two weeks, my productivity was in the gutter. Not because I'm not used to MacOS, but because going from four 27" screens to a single 15" screen was devastating. Things improved significantly once I bought an ultrawide, but I'm still having to do a significant amount of desktop-switching (using the three-finger swipe) and it's just not good.
I know the MBP supports more monitors but I'm out of desk space!
- gowld 5y agoHow often do you visit your chiropracter?
- rietta 5y agoDesktop is actually better for that. At least getting the laptop up to eye height with good posture. My chiropractor says they see more younger patients (30s and 40s) with degenerative disk disease in the neck related to laptop and smart phone use.
