    Am i the only person who can't work on a laptop?

    Sometimes i really think so.

    I just can't work on those things.
    The only way i can use one is by adding a seperate screen, mouse and keyboard.

          Nope. Could never work on a laptop. I try when I'm sick or tired, but it seems like I get no where. I love my dual monitor setup, keyboard and mouse. If I absolutely need to, I hook up at least a wireless mouse to the laptop. It's a pain.

                  I've tried. Can't get a thing done unless I'm at a desk.

                      This.

                      I'm sometimes forced to work from my laptop when I go to the office(usually try to knock all work out before then) and it's just not pretty.

                          did it for years as i was always on the move, built the entire operation on a laptop, 6 months back got a beast of a desktop, triple monitor bla bla, no way i could go back to a laptop, painfully fiddly and slow.

                              I find it slower for sure just to work on a laptop while sitting on the couch or in a hotel. Having the dual monitors really helps productivity. But I cant work on an external keyboard, it just feels foreign to me. I love my laptop keyboard.

                                              Amazes me people who are supposed to be professionals might do something like work from the couch on a laptop. How do they actually get anything done? Not to mention laptops throttle and get hot, even worse once dust build up starts inside.

I get a huge amount of productivity by having dual monitors, a good mouse and keyboard at the correct hight.

                                                                                              Sometimes I hook my Mac laptop up to dual monitors with mouse / keyboard which works really well too, almost like a desktop just not as fast.

But what if you are chilling after hours, out of the office, and just want to do some light work while watching some TV or sitting on the deck? That's where a lappy comes in handy. Plus its tough carting a Desktop when you need to travel

How do they actually get anything done? Not to mention laptops throttle and get hot, even worse once dust build up starts inside.
                                                                                                                  Some of us work or at least monitor work most of our waking hours. Now and then, we choose to do it from the couch.

At home I have a laptop, but most of the work is getting done on a fast desktop machine. Would never go back to the old way.

Everything including Photoshop, video editing, whatever. No add-on mouse or keyboard. I have those things just never plug them in.

                                                                                                                                      When I'm not working I use my tablet for everything else.

Social media on tablet, tasks app and messaging on phone. If I can't reach someone at my company through a messenger I whatsapp them.

I like to work on the one thing in front of me and alt+tab between things to keep my mind on track.

                                                                                                                                                  I also don't check my email religiously instead opting to only do it three or four times a day.

                                                                                                                                                  People who would absolutely need to reach me right away for something know how ... I keep my MSN messenger contact list very limited and there is text message and whatsapp.

                                                                                                                                                              I plug it in the dock at the office and I got my quadmonitor-rig with all the bells and whistles, at the "home-office" i got a similar rig setup.

I hate my job at these times :/

I only use mine when traveling and even then I can't get any real work done on it.
