Dual monitors master race. I got these at work several years ago and will never go back.

I've been using dual monitors at home since like 2011 and I can't go back. When asked what I needed in my lab space at school as a grad student I immediately responded "A decent desktop and 2 monitors". I had to specify decent since the school still warehouses oldass PCs. Mine is still pretty old but it's decent based on what most are using.

I don't even boot into a PC at work. I boot into a Linux environment and log into a virtual Windows environment. I would like just a Windows box but they don't trust people to not get viruses on work computers because people still get fooled by phishing emails these days.

That sounds insufferable.

The few metalhead friends I have IRL have always had a healthy respect for the classics so bands like Slayer, Megadeth, Celtic Frost, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Death etc could be played all day with no complaints.

Same with me for the most part. My issues with music compatibility typically arise from friends I know that like alt rock, country, or hip/hop (and not the underground stuff but the shit they play at the club or something that girls like to dance to). Its kind of funny how casuals tend to be extremely picky and opinionated when it comes to music selection.

Fortunately one of my best buds is a fucking huge metalhead with plenty of overlap in taste, so we never have any problems finding common ground.

Overall I agree, and double that for tablets. I'm gonna be using something approximating a desktop with dual monitors until I die.

For actual work nothing beats a dual monitor setup. For casual net browsing and media however, the second monitor tends not to be used that much. Though I'm totally with you, ill never replace having a desktop setup. Ive always hated using laptops and don't even own one anymore.

I need a laptop for school at times, but if I didn't need it I probably wouldn't have one.
 
Ive been out of school for years now, and then again as a biochem major I had very little use for a laptop in class (taking notes about molecules and reactions would have been impossible to type out). If I needed a computer, id find a computer lab, go to my research lab (unlikely since it was a dinosaur with monitor flicker) or go back to my dorm or home. But yea, if I were in your situation id definitely have one.
