Personally, I was lucky enough to be able to work in an office during the more “relaxed” months of the past year. But there were some weeks that due to snow and other issues I had to work from home.
That’s when I mostly missed one thing: an external monitor. When you get used to two screens (15” and 27”), changing to a ten year old 13” MacBook feels like a trip back in time.
My personal workflow feels faster with the use of two (or even more) screens; editing photographs, researching, creating content or building databases. Being able to see in a glimpse two fully open windows, in my opinion, increases your productivity a tenfold.
