    I have a lenovo external usb-c monitor.

    I love it. Use it every day. It’s great.

    I’d never buy this rolling screen gimmick.

      I’d never want to carry around a 2nd monitor or find a place to set it when using a "lap"top. A 2nd monitor is great for a desktop.

        That’s fine, you do you and all that.

        The thing is, laptops haven’t been "lap"tops for many years. Many workplaces have infrastructure where you carry your laptop around and dock it into your desktop monitors & peripherals at your desk.

        I personally really like to work at our public library. In my backpack I have the laptop, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It’s a really great set up and I can be just as productive as I am in my home office.

          No. Laptops are still laptops. You’re just choosing not to use them as such. In fact, they’re more lap friendly now than they originally were. With how you describe using yours, you should just have a mini pc instead of a laptop.

            Sure. How silly of pretty much every office in the world to issue employees with laptops instead of mini PC’s.

            Walk in to a library or Cafe anywhere in the world and you’ll see laptops, on desks and not on laps.

              Yeah, and how many libraries you see with laptops on em and people with second monitors attached that people also carry? People put them on desks at libraries because libraries provide large desks. That doesn’t give you an extra amount of monitor.

                A lot, actually.

                  Funny. I’ve never seen even one. Sure would be simpler if the laptop just had a double screen built in.

                    I guess we don’t go to the same libraries?

                    What even is your angle here? No one cares what you think about my set up, my self least of all.
