I'd counter that with, why are you worried about computer-time productivity when traveling? If it's for vacation, just unplug. Mixing work and vacation makes both worse. If it's for business, your attention should be on whatever it is that prompted you to travel. Presumably that's face time with people, not grinding away in front of a computer.

Because I'm not talking about vacation, I'm talking about the ability to travel and see family or go somewhere new at any point during the year without needing to take time off to do so. My work is programming, and travel has never been a part of the work equation for me. If workspace arrangements weren't an issue, I could go visit my friends from college this very weekend.

  Meh, this is mainly a bad excuse. Even when I'm doing CAD or manipulating large 3D datasets, I can get my work done with just a 14" laptop and a good trackball. There is some reduction in efficiency, but mainly due to scp'ing large files or waiting for the slower CPU. For coding it's not an issue at all, as long as you have your toolchain set up properly. I find that the high DPI trend has a tendency to limit us unneccesarily more than actually fix anything. It is still common to say max 80 characters per line. In the olden days where that comes from, it would require 640 pixels horizontally. So at 100% scaling you can fit 3 standard terminals side-by-side and fit 60+ lines vertically, what more do you need when you also have multiple workspaces to tab across?

    :thumbs_up: good for you. Doesn't work for me.
