I've always found working from a laptop to feel very cramped, I find it so much easier to work with more space, is there an unknown advantage to using a smaller display or is it just personal preference? (My setup: http://i.imgur.com/uKpyV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uKpyV.jpg)
- evoltix 15y agoNice setup. I think it depends on your line of work and personal preference.
- oinksoft 15y agoWell, seeing that you're a Starcraft player, it's not as though a laptop really would be an option ^^ More seriously, I think that your setup would hurt my eyes. Having a dedicated monitor is far nicer than using a laptop, but you have screens dominating your peripheral vision. One decent-sized screen is much nicer in my opinion.
- mark_l_watson 15y agoI would bet that most developers who use laptops as their primary development box sometimes tether to a large screen - that is what I do in my home office. I often work in other places around the house, rather than my office, but then I tend to do tasks that don't require a large monitor. Having your whole working life on a single laptop (with multiple types of backups) is a real convenience and time saver.
