Samsung seems to equate a larger display area on a laptop with increased worker efficiency/productivity - disregarding ergonomics or durability of their products.
Since laptop displays with a few exceptions have the bottom of the screen on the desk, bigger ismore ergonomic as it raises the center up, at least up until the point the center becomes too high, which is pretty huge.
I use my laptop with the external display on top of it, so this setup matches my way of working fwiw. True, I hoped it somehow unrolling like the elder scrolls, but alas we're obviously not there yet (and I don't think I would be able to do Python on a scroll).
