I went from two 22" screens and an Aeron, neck ache, back ache and eyestrain to one 12" screen at 1280x800 and no problems. I RDP to the big workstation connected to the monitors and use my laptop as a terminal.
I get to move around all the time and sit in different positions and can just grab the thing and tether off my phone for a bit. Thursday I went and sat in Kew Gardens (£62/year for an office with a nice view!).
The lack of fatigue and general wellbeing that comes with this flexibility has been orders of magnitude more productive than window layouts.
Everything is just full screen with alt-tabing. I have open Outlook, two word docs, one excel sheet, 6 visual studio instances, hyper-v manager, PuTTY, Paint.net, about 40 FF tabs, keepassx and PowerShell ISE.
The only time I hit the desktop machine is when I need to frig a large image.
Note: The only negative is bird shit.
