    I think most people are on laptops now. Blows my mind but yeah.

    My comparison is that screen size is like desk size. A laptop being those tiny pull out side desks at college, and a monitor being a desk. I was massively downvoted for that. People like their small screens.

      I get a poked fun at a little bit on mechanical keyboard communities for preferring a full-size (I gotta type IP’s, need a numpad!).

      I don’t think I could work solely on a laptop without external peripherals, it’s just not a good experience (also giant hands and chiclet keys is not a good combo). My work laptop exists permanently folded closed connected to a dock.

      I’d put the analogy as trying to cook a multi-course meal in a saucepan on a single burner vs a full stovetop and set of pans (also you only have a paring knife).
