> Want it for productivity? it can't run MacOS applications and if you want to use your actual Mac it can't do multiple monitors.

I don’t know why, but while I feel multiple monitors helps my productivity a lot in Windows and Linux I find myself not caring as much in MacOS as long as the screen is big enough. I think it has to do with my habits around how I use the windowing in each. I tend to teasselate and arrange them in MacOS while I tend to maximize or lock to screed edges in Windows.

Unpopular opinion: multiple monitors are a meme for most uses and almost everyone is better off having a single screen and using their fingers to move the viewport accross virtual desktop spaces.

Not just an unpopular opinion, it’s also not supported by data. There are a decent number of studies that show that multiple monitors increases productivity.

Iirc though, there are diminishing returns fairly quickly beyond dual monitors.

Me personally, the sweet spot is three total screens.

Yes. I'd rather press a button than turn my neck.
