Desktop; plan for a laptop in the future, as well | May 4, 2021 |
To see the way in which, other colleagues work, is fascinating. I have a desktop for now, and plan to purchase at least one laptop in the future, as well. | | |

Computers lack the warmth of human approach, that's why working with pen and paper only is a great option. When translation is done, you just attach a message to a pigeon's toe and send it (the message, not the toe) to the client. | | |

I have a desktop and two monitors at the office. But since March 16, 2020, I have been working remotely, using a laptop connected by VPN to the desktop (so I can continue to use MemoQ, which is on the desktop). I have a 23" monitor attached so I still have dual screens, mouse, and external keyboard. I recently purchased an ergonomic Perixxboard-512 which I can use with the laptop and also my personal Mac mini. I mostly use the remote desktop, except for things that require micro...

I recently purchased an ergonomic Perixxboard-512 which I can use with the laptop and also my personal Mac mini. I mostly use the remote desktop, except for things that require microphone and camera, because the laptop is a bit slow. They have issued me a new laptop, but I haven´t had time to set it up yet. I should be able to have MemoQ on it, but they have to install it because of admin rights. Once everything is set up on the new laptop, I probably won't have to use the desktop remotely. ▲ Collapse | |

Sara-Maude D-C (X) Canada Local time: 09:22 English to French + ... One desktop, one monitor - for lack of better options | May 5, 2021 |
As a student, I work entirely on a desktop with only one monitor. Once I get more financially stable, I plan to buy another computer - perhaps a gamer laptop - strictly for entertainment. By dividing work space from fun space, I expect to get more work done more quickly, and less procrastination. | | |
Desktop w mechanical keyboard | May 5, 2021 |
Desktop exclusively. I love my desktop with a gigantic screen that displays up to three documents at a time. I'm a speed typist and invested in a mechanical keyboard. Anything less would slow me down. While it would be pleasant to work on my laptop on my shaded patio, I go there to take a break from the screen. | | |

Laptops are not suitable working devices, despite what the users believe. It only becomes suitable when you attach a separate keyboard, a separate video and a separate mouse, that is, when you transform it into a desktop. However, it costs almost twice as much as a desktop and it loses up to 50% of its speed when it heats. So, really, only those who never tried a desktop still work on a laptop. | | |

"Users" believe otherwise. I love these absolutist aphorisms… Not. Why should everyone fit in the same mold and subscribe to one and only worldview? "Despite what users believe"? Ridiculous.

I use a laptop and an All-in-One. An All-in-One computer combines the display and the computer or the "tower" into one single unit. I like space and technology and I avoid having lots of wires and cables. | | |
