I was very surprised after I bought a nice big monitor and great mouse that I ignored them most of the time, so now I just work off the laptop, it works best for me, which I never would have guessed in my desktop years

That said, I've been very productive with a creaky noisy cheap lenovo with ubuntu so in my case it's not just about productivity but also comfort

- great touchpad (and gestures)

- all day battery

- no noise at all (optional but for me a big plus)

- hinge that stands the test of time

- aluminum (of very resistant) body

i'll buy a laptop that checks these off under $1600, but so far m1 air is the only one I found, and it's cheaper than that
