Laser printer and printing all books and documents. About 300 pages/week.

8x4k 27" screens in portrait mode plus TV. I connected laptop and two desktops with Barrier, so all share single mouse, keyboard and clipboard.

I found it better to work on multiple machines simultaneously. Background tasks do not slow it down. And connecting 9 displays to single machine is tricky. It is cheap junk, but looks like power plant control center. And productivity gain is there.

What's the benefit to using multiple desktop machines with Barrier? More processing power?
Some tasks make computer less responsive. This way it is isolated.

And it is cheaper for the same price. I can have lightweight laptop, yet relatively beefy desktop cpu.

Nice. What's your GPU setup?
Integrated GPUs. Look at Deskmini X300
can you post a pic of your setup?
