Extra monitor.... minimalist toolkit .... you got to be kidding, right?!😂
A 15in retina MacBook Pro is pretty good for any type of work....you really can get away with a smaller screen when the pixel density is high. But still, don't find I have a need for it unless I'm going to do some software development. Guess you might need it for photo/video editing or web design - but not so much for just writing I think!😀
After dual monitor, life has never been the same again. I posted about it a long time ago, it's just a wish to bring an external monitor as it increases productivity. But won't make sense traveling with it lol.
It's good for plagiarizers too, copy pasting would be easier for them haha.
