The beautiful part is that the headset makes any desk (at my apartment, when visiting parents, in the office, etc.) my desk, which is exactly the same every time no matter where I am. Without bajillion cables and with instantaneous setup time. And would allow me to not worry about the physical constraints of the surface and take up no actual physical space on the desk.

If you have no desk, are you putting the keyboard on your lap? Sounds fumbly.

I sit on a reclining desk chair, about 4 feet back from a 46" TV. I have a lap desk with a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Love it! I'm interested in trying this out, to be able to have a bigger screen, and to be able to take it anywhere.

That sounds fun. I do that from time to time, but it gets fumbly for me. You must have a better chair (or keyboard) if it's working for you. Also.. my TV isn't nearly 4k (or even 2k)

I did pick up a nice chair when some nearby offices were being vacated a couple years ago. I have used a decade-old Apple BT keyboard and trackpad. They're great (though the batteries have to be changed every month or so). My TV is 1080p, and I wish it were a bit higher resolution, for sure.

I have desks at home, work, at parents' house, etc. So i have a physical desk in all places to place a keyboard on.

The issue is that all those desks are different, and I am not carrying the same setup everywhere. I am not going to bring my monitors and cables and the rest on a flight to visit parents. Or if I am working from a hotel. And I am not carrying my entire setup every time i switch between working in the office or at home.

But just a headset + kbm? No problem, especially since consistency of the setup being the same is guaranteed, and the setup time is zero.

No worse than using a laptop in your lap would be.

That's why they aren't called laptops anymore. They're called notebooks. Because you're not supposed to use them on your lap.

The funny thing here is I often use a paper notebook on my lap (on a clipboard), but rarely use a laptop on my lap.
