"either working on screens that are too small (14" really isn't enough to be productive)"

I work primarily from a 13" xps. Given the high-res display + that I can switch desktops easily via i3, it's really a non issue for what I do.

You can also use a dock. For my work laptop, I use the Caldigit TS3+ thunderbolt and it's great.
