At work I'm the only dude that uses Windows and Linux. Everyone else uses Macs.
We're stuck on Mac at work and I hate it.
I had jobs like that. Productivity drops hard.
I'm shocked you have a choice at work.
I had a couple of jobs that only allows Macs. It was horrible. The M1 Mac couldn't do 3 monitors(two side by side and main monitor). What kind of "PRO" system doesn't allow 3 monitors?!?!
I remember using 3 on Windows 7 in like 2015. That's crazy. And I think I could open the laptop to get 4. This was an IBM Thinkpad with a dock. I wonder if USB C and dongles have made it harder somehow?
Using 2x FHD 16:10 monitors and 1x 4K 16:9 with my laptop FHD 16:9.
The monitors are connected with a USB-C docking station over 1x HDMI amd 2x DP.
The laptop does struggle a bit (fan ramping more than usual) but it's capable of doing so
On a Mac or PC? Because I think it's only recently you could get 3 monitors.
Windows 11, HP EliteBook (I think) 12th gen i5
Nice dude. I find that a cooling pad helps with the thermal lagging.
