Since when is having a laptop on your lap or by your side a problem in bed? That's my default wfh setup. I even have a 2nd monitor on a standard arm mounted to my bedrest for when I need it. I do also use Xreal One but only when I'm trying not to wake my partner.

to use a laptop you need to be sitting up. when you are bedridden many times you can't do that. and even healthy, sitting in bed with my legs stretched out is uncomfortable for longer periods of time. not to mention most people would balk at their partner doing that when they share a bed. consider yourself lucky. but do check that you are giving enough attention to your partner otherwise. i have at least one friend who got divorced specifically because he was more interested in computers than his wife.

The question was about a laptop as contrast to AR glasses. AR glasses are worse here.

    What? Showing attention with laptop is much more difficult than with glasses on

      What? You literally can't look away from a pair of AR glasses.

        Attention is not only in the eyes

        Sure, it's also in whether things are still going and it's impossible to tell with the glasses.

        They are not opaque. They are AR. You can see how things are going. But I meant touch and that stuff.

  Computers are definitely better than wives :)

There are people who can only lie flat on the bed and can't sit without support.
