Yup, I'd go crazy as well - my eyes are not that young anymore so I don't even like using the 15" MBP - I much rather use my 27" Apple TB display, 27" iMac, or 32" Alienware IPS monitor...I'd go literally insane trying to do all of my work on a 13" display. 27" is minimum.
That and I still need W10 in VM or dual boot form for some work I do.
M1 machine makes a good side machine, but I couldn't live off it.
exactly.I don’t want a battery in my desktop.
I don’t need a 13” monitor.
I don’t need a laptop keyboard.
I don’t need a trackpad.

Do you never work while moving?exactly.
I have zero need for a laptop.
Not everyone needs a laptop to do that. I work whilst moving, don't need a laptop to do it though.Do you never work while moving?
No. I have no need to work on a laptop. I work at work and nowhere else. I don't take trains or buses or planes or so on. I drive to work, I work, I go home.Do you never work while moving?
(train, bus, car, hovercraft, ship, plane being the more common options for me.)
whats the difference other than price?
I know this was not direktes at me but I can answer from my perspective.Do you never work while moving?
(train, bus, car, hovercraft, ship, plane being the more common options for me.)
Nope. Even when I used to travel to suppliers etc, travel time is my time. I do have a work laptop so I can move it between offices and home but it isn’t used in transitDo you never work while moving?

And.....just get an iPad, in addition to the MacMini for mobile useI don’t want a battery in my desktop.

See the second post I did in this threadAnd.....just get an iPad, in addition to the MacMini for mobile use![]()
That is a great combo.And.....just get an iPad, in addition to the MacMini for mobile use![]()
Ports. And a screen and keyboard.whats the difference other than price?
I've tried this multiple times, and I've now arrived back at Mac Mini with an MBA, and a side of iPad, which works perfectly for remote and on-site working, plus travel (remember that?).Using laptops as desktop replacements is an awful experience. I've tried before and it sucks. Would not recommend.
Thanks for the responses but I guess I was thinking about having the flexibility of using both desktop and laptop abilities. I have several work spaces at home, outdoor and indoor, standing desks and siting desks, high rise view of city. I guess I was thinking of an upcoming MacBook Pro 16 to grab away from a monitor and work outside with stuff good screen since the performance is just as good as at a desk. Also using with apples accessories for desktop feel.
