    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.
