Didn't work that way for me. An external keyboard and mouse (or trackpad) is easy enough to stick in your luggage and take through an airport. A monitor - especially a large one - is much less so. For the years that I traveled one week a month, I generally avoided hooking up to external monitors even when they were available at my destination because I didn't want to manage two different layouts or workflows. YMMV, of course, but I think "keyboard and mouse but not monitor when away from home base" is a reasonable and quite common compromise.
- osigurdson 4y agoI guess it depends on how mobile your workflow is. Hard to use an external kb on a plane or at a coffee shop. Maybe Zuck will solve these problems for use with his glasses. Crossing fingers.
