When I’m doing work I use 2 external monitors with a keyboard and mouse. All the keys I need to be efficient are right on my full sized keyboard. I have a coworker who refuses to use more than one monitor (either his laptop or laptop closed with a small square monitor) so I guess people don’t like to use them.

For personal use I use it on my lap in a chair or on the couch. The extra time it takes to look down is not a show stopper. Switching tabs is nice in Safari because you get a slight preview and it’s also great for media controls.

Do you work on your MPB and do you use external monitors? What apps do you use the function keys for?

If you think it’s unused then take a look at these 3rd party apps.[1] Pock looks pretty cool.
