> Multi monitor setups are overrated anyway. I work entirely off a laptop screen and only a portion of that screen is where my focus is most of the time. Having multiple monitors at my desk is mostly for decoration and looking like you’re a big deal. I staunchly disagree with this. I work from home and as such have no reason to optimize my desk for showing off or acting like a big shot, and find that having at least one extra monitor is a huge productivity boost because for most tasks, it practically eliminates the need to juggle applications or windows — everything that's relevant for the task at hand can remain visible the whole time without a cramped tiled windows setup. Virtual desktops are great but to me, work best in concert for switching tasks rather than being used as a tool to corral windows on a single screen. When I need to work away from my desk, it's somewhat frustrating even with a 16" laptop.
