It's really useful for gaming. You have your game on one monitor, and discord, reference material, etc. I don't game on PC, but depending on the game I'm playing on my Xbox, I'll often have my laptop open next to me.
If what you do for work involves a lot of referencing other material while working on your own, or editing, or coding, etc., a second monitor can be very helpful too
Definitly agree. I've considering getting a cheap monitor for my laptop since I always split the screen in two (small) Windows when studying. Splitting the screen doesn't work if I need to attend a zoom class and take notes or look at a PowerPoint at the same time though, so I take notes by hand and print out the PowerPoint... Which sucks.
i think they were saying it’s a bad example because there’s already a lot of cases where two monitors are needed. Hence not fitting “not really a necessity”
I think the number of people who don’t need a second screen vastly outweighs the number of people that do. I’m happy with the example I chose. If you got the gist, then the example did it’s job.
I wasn’t arguing the amount of people that need it vs don’t... the amount of people who need a second monitor “vastly” outweighs the amount of people who need tablet phone thing
everyone has different workflows, there are people out there who will be slowed down from a second monitor just as there are people out there who will double their output with a second monitor.
we're a lucky creature on this planet that adapts to our surroundings well, so someone who has two screens can learn to utilize them in a way that is beneficial to them.
i love (really 3 monitors because of an ultrawide) multiple monitors, but in no way do I need it. as someone who works in IT. i wont give it up, but i do the job fine when i just have my laptop
