    As an enjoyer of large screens… This tracks. I don’t see how you can do a job on a laptop or under 32in monitor.

    Seeing all these “consults” with their laptops… Is mostly a show of force

      I have a 16" laptop and lowkey hate using it when I don’t have it connected to my two 27" HD panels at my desk. Once I got to use it hooked up to two 32" 4K panels and I’ve been jealous of that setup ever since. I saw an $90 portable 15.6" monitor at Costco yesterday, looks like it can run on a single USB-C connection, and am sorta seriously considering getting that for when I’m on the road. Maybe I can get work to get me something like that.

      I mean, the single laptop screen works fine when I need it, but I really prefer having more real estate.

    I’d be on two monitors but my M1 MacBook Air can’t output to two screens apparently.

      My boss jumped on it and got one as soon as they came out, then complained when he couldn’t use two monitors but was kinda stuck since he’d pushed for the upgrade.

    Not funny sorry bro. I had iPhone and 2 screens assigned to me for work and wasn’t even close to CEO.

      I think they’re saying the CEO only uses the iPhone. If you have dual monitors you’re in the bottom right, even if they also give you a phone.
