Bro, people today prefer trackpad. Its fucking mindblowing. Ive met several IRL people that love trackpads and don’t own a mouse. I almost guarantee I’m 10x faster at anything on a PC than them

I think it's an excellent compromise for being a portable PC. If I'm going to university, to a study space or a lecture, a laptop is freaking fantastic. Also all laptops universally have one killer feature that nearly no desktop PC has: a built-in UPS. If power goes out, the laptop just keeps chugging along on battery power, giving you an extra few hours of work. It's not my workstation of choice by any means, but I wouldn't call it miserable. It's fine.

Yeah, i have no idea how all those people are doing their work. I need a big monitor or two, a good keyboard and a nice mouse!

I work on industrial production lines. I've gotten used enough to laptops that I don't mind too much. Work from home on my 34" curved screen + 27" flat is amazing tho.

Amazingly, there is this nifty thing called a "port" that allows a mouse to be plugged into a laptop. It is pretty incredible technology. /s I tend to vacillate myself depending on the noise of the environment vs the work at hand. If I need to spread out across a few monitors, dock it. If I just need to do some simple paperwork, portable. If I want to force no distractions, portable (as it is more difficult to see things when your screen real estate is reduced.) Helps if you have good eyesight too, laptop UIs today are at clown magnification levels anymore.

Well, these guys aren't working, as far as I'm concerned, if they can do it without bringing out a mouse and real keyboard and probably a second monitor. (My laptop bag is pretty heavy.) They can at best be checking emails.

For real, not having the mouse slows you down big time, even though I'm more or less skilled at keyboard shortcuts

I can't work on a big screen. I'm thriving on my laptop with my 3x3 virtual desktop grid, though.

I do most things on my laptop mouseless, or that is, trackpadless. It's the best feeling ever. I seriously recommend it to anyone.
