Working on a laptop is a miserable experience and should not be done unless you absolutely have to work while traveling. If I’m anywhere near my office or home then I’ll just put off the work to get to a desk with decent ergonomics, mechanical keyboard, proper mouse, large screen… I refuse to make the many many compromises it takes to use a laptop.
This thread is getting more ridiculous by the minute. I’m working on laptops for ages now. Most apps are simply always full-screen, as they would be on any monitor below 30". I use a stand and an external keyboard at home, but nothing is keeping me from fiddling the keys on the laptop itself. My neck can thankfully swivel up and down.
Once upon a time, when I got sick of northern winter, I went to Egypt and worked from there for two weeks. Did some walking around during the day, coded in the hotel suite for a while. Then at 18 o’clock sharp the sun falls beyond the horizon, the tourists disappear from the beach, meanwhile I walk out and sit in a beach chair with my laptop, enjoying the fresh breeze. Had a great time.
Likewise, in summers skating to a local park and around it, then sitting down at a tree and mashing some buttons with a view of the lake before me was glorious.
