        Two or more windows on top of each other. Have you never even put a monitor on its side to get more vertical space?

        As a Dev that needs some communication with a team, documentation and potentially a video for entertainment whilst working. Monitors that are taller are great. The LG dual up is my holy grail right now.

      I wouldn’t say no gain. I would love that real estate on my bedside stand I use with physical disability. I would not want the sub 17" form factor and keyboard though. I struggle to do anything super technical without a second screen which is a pain in the ass. I can’t sit at a desktop and the ergonomics of a laptop are unbeatable in my situation.

        It looks like when it’s extended it adds a second screen. But it’s vertical, one on top of the other. I feel like doing it horizontally would be more natural to use. Baby steps, I guess.

          I have a monitor on a custom made arm that sits above my laptop when I need a second screen.

          It works well in a tight space like in a board meeting at a conference table or plane seat. Vertical doesn’t make a real difference in my experience. You just need two spaces that do not move so that you can quickly reference multiple documents and keep your place between them.

            Good point. I was thinking of best use case, but really whatever works will do.
