It's just not a good fit for my lap.

That's what desks are for..

Seriously though, how much do you move with your development computer? I can't imagine being productive without at least two large screens and a fullsize keyboard and trackball anyways..

I have a similar setup to yours, but end up working (for my job, or for personal enjoyment) more than half the time on a single 14" screen, wherever (kitchen table, my couch, someone else's couch, outside, ...).

For some kind of work, I find the extra screen space very useful, but for other tasks it ends up being distracting.

Having a light, quiet laptop that keeps itself cool and has a long battery life is what makes it possible.

And when it's not enough, I can plug a single usb-c cable and have it charging, and connected to a keyboard, mouse, two screens, gigabit ethernet and speakers/headphones.

In my case, I have to carry it to the office and back home. I also often use it outside.
