I use real ethernet cable for database things every day, no question; many people are accustomed to an HDMI setup at their desk, with a carry-home laptop, right?

Thought I would clarify, I also use an Ethernet connection. To the dock.

Do you basically pop open your laptop with just an Ethernet cable connected and work like that for 8 hours?

Sounds terrible to me, neck pain from constantly looking down at your laptop screen would not go well for me. External monitors mounted at eye level is the way to go.

I have an external monitor and a stand for my laptop. It is pretty awesome.
