@evan It’s better on your neck than using a laptop on your sofa. Ergonomics are important.
About 10 years ago I gave up using my laptop as my primary personal computer (although I still have one for work but it’s attached to two LCDs) and switched to a desktop.
I can do a lot on my phone. But I no longer have a laptop sitting on the ottoman. I have an excuse to keep work limited mostly to work hours. And I can read PDFs ?
