Designers who could tolerate a Windows laptop in the Win7 era are probably not good designers. They were mostly inexcusably ugly, and Adobe software support was known to be not ideal until late Win8.

anyone who tolerates laptops at all is not good at judging ergonomics and usability, they are only made so you can get the necessary minimum done when you can't access the main machine and it shows

I do all my work from the sofa or floor. Bad ergonomics but good usability.

Well, I know we all have our kinks and perversions, but it's a bit unfair to push them onto unsuspecting joe

the physical and mental pain related to the terrible "keyboards" and cooling systems and small, poorly positioned screens laptops offer makes the usability nearly non-existent

You haven't really coded until you've coded under a blanket.

And I'm not an indestructible 20-year-old either :)

It is universally more ergonomic to have a device that you can’t take to where you need to be working? Unbelievable.

it's more ergonomic not having to use device that actively tries to hurt you

Now hear me for a second, I think I will blow you mind.

All laptops have a very special feature called external monitor support. And for some laptops, you can even buy docks.

Boom!

I know, it's amazing.

and then you're still stuck with the inferior performance and acoustics, why would you want to do that?

That is an expert's view which is not valued today which makes it untrue. I personally agree, I totally do, I mean my setup has triple display and plenty RAM, but sorry!
