I tried switching to a laptop-only existence several years ago. Didn't work for me.

I have an Apple 23" Cinema Display as my primary monitor, and a 19" Hyundai as my second monitor. I'd be lost and be much less productive without this screen real estate.

And ever tried watching movies on a laptop? It sucks. But my Cinema Display handles this beautifully.

Glad it works for you. Won't work for me, however.



I frequently watch full-screen movies on my 15" MBP while laying on the couch 7ft away. In fact, I don't watch (or have) a TV, so it's really my only option. Then again, I have really good eyesight and I grew up without a TV in the house, so maybe that's why. :)
