Nowadays I use MacBook Pro 14" (2023) as my only computer.
Specs
- M2 Pro (12 CPU cores, 19 GPU, 16 NE)
- 32 GB RAM
- 1 TB SSD
- ANSI keyboard
- I'm more used to the ANSI layout since I started to use Keychron K2
Desktop mode
Most of the time I use it as a desktop computer with lid being closed. I connect this Mac to an external display (that also serves as the USB-C hub) and go through the day.
I don't use the internal MacBook screen in this setup, as I consider having more than one screen counter-productive - believe me, I tried. Probably I can blame my very own neurodivergence for that.
To remediate the lack of screens, I maintain the structured virtual desktops on macOS (a.k.a. Mission Control). Each virtual desktop serves as a canvas for a particular activity.
