The monitor instead of the laptop screen. , not in addition to.

Laptops were meant to be portable.

Workstations were meant to work

You would never ask a pilot to operate with a welders shield over his eyes.

Its not the visual workspace that counts. Its the ability to multitask without shuffling multiple applications.

Since you obviously are not employed in the corporate world that regularly juggles an erp system, email, excel, attachments, accounting, and other browser tabs, etc --- then this is something you know nothing about.

This means you speak without knowledge.

And precisely my point.

Your interview is over, kid

you use linux and a huge monitor and virtual desktops then you realize unless you're gaming on one screen you can make 6 desktops on for each of the things you listed. I hate 64gb ddr4 and I would just jump from desktop to desktop. Heck keep it all up and even compile a program while checking email. Multiple monitors in this age are less needed than 10 years ago and you can do all those things with a multicore processor and a large led tv. You can even do zoom calls on one virtual desktop while doing 6 other things out of site but running non the less. Unless windows has gotten even shittier than 5 years ago when I formatted over it then I see no reason for more than one large tv screen unless it's running an art type program like photoshop when you need the extra definition an actual monitor can provide you. Also started on windows 3.11wfw played spear of destiny, duke nukem in dos which was amazing on 1/2 mb of ram and went directly from winxp pro to windows 10 on a Dell and it was like how did they fuck up windows so totally, this is shit. So not a kid and almost 60 btw so that was not correct. I just have an open view and think unnecessary extra hardware is foolish since you need extra graphics cards and then a bigger PS to power that and then you have a heat buildup to cover unless your watercooled. Not business but my old system was side off and 20 inch box fan right up against it while chain smoking and doing bowls. Before that was my own porn image sight using an apache beta on a garbage windows 98se machine using irfanview for the page thumbnail creation and running on a home slow internet connection, that crapped out since my HD was hot enough to fry and egg with the fan blowing on it directly and my crappy processor 1.2 ghz pentium 4 was not able to do a damn things beside send images online constantly to horny guys that I sent the IP to one the IRC room we hung out on. Not young and done some shit but no school or other training just self taught but no skill at all for programing.

Most graphics cards support multiple displays, even low end integrated cards and laptops.
