  A laptop at the beach is merely the processor wishing to return to its natural state of being sand.

  There’s some sadistic undertone to bringing your artificial brain made from pumping lightning into rocks to a field of underlying building blocks.

  If I’m outside with my laptop, I’m not working on the laptop I’m listening to a mandatory meeting or for a notification that I need to actually do work… While I enjoy the outdoors

    I recently did my Title IX training modules from my laptop while fishing on a pier over the Pacific Ocean.

    Was probably the best time I ever had doing Title IX training I ever had.

  Working on a laptop is a miserable experience and should not be done unless you absolutely have to work while traveling. If I’m anywhere near my office or home then I’ll just put off the work to get to a desk with decent ergonomics, mechanical keyboard, proper mouse, large screen… I refuse to make the many many compromises it takes to use a laptop.

    My job gave us laptops and docks. At home or in the office, you use the dock and get your monitors and desk no problem. But can still use it as just the laptop if the need arises. Good middle ground.

    The laptop is for use when a proper computer isn’t available.

    I recently installed a 49 inch screen, and using my laptop now feels even more like using a cell phone.

    I used to have to wait till after hours to run backups and such on our servers and verify things, I wish I would have had a small laptop for that. Instead I used to drive half way home to a hole in the wall beer bar and sit down, and run them remotely from my phone. Pinching and zooming was a pain, but sitting in the office would have been wasteful, in 2-3 years of running them I only ever once thought I might have had to drive back to reboot something manually, then it came up before I finished my beer and was set for the day. That way I was already half way home, and didn’t have to sit by my lonesome being bored waiting

  yeah but having the freedom to do it instead of being stuck in the office every day all day is awesome
