I turn into a "digital nomad" every now and then, but I wouldn't consider monitor size a first-world problem. There's just no way to work on a 13" MacBook without ruining your back :( Luckily I have a 24" screen that fits nicely into my suitcase.

Either just the stand (e.g a VESA style mount) or even the whole monitor, they go for like $300 these days, which if you're gonna stay for 6 months or so makes sense (and you can always sell before leaving -- or leave to someone as a nice gift).
- coldtea 12y ago>There's just no way to work on a 13" MacBook without ruining your back If it's your back you're concerned about, you can get a stand and a bluetooth keyboard. That doesn't have to do with monitor size, just posture.
