I only use a 1 monitor setup. I just use multiple virtual desktops, it's easier for me to switch desktops with the trackpad then move my head to look at multiple monitors. Surely that's more efficient right?

    2 monitors, 2 eyes

    I think 2 eyes is a little misleading, 1 monitor, 1point of focus is probably more accurate 😀

    But you can switch focus point in shorter time with eyes than with mouse or keyboard

    I only use one monitor as well, but it has more to do with physical desk space ;)

    I think the key thing here is "with the trackpad" trackpad's are the slowest, least efficient way of controlling a pc even with the highest sensitivity.

    I recently moved and could only take a laptop with me, I miss my duel monitors a lot.

    I've moved to similar at home, using a 32" monitor helps though

    The problem with multi monitor setups is that the extra monitors cannot be used for extended time. It's not ergonomic.

    @bitshift that's why you use one as your primary and do most of your important stuff there, and use the other for things you won't be looking at as often.

    That said, I have 2 monitors at work and I don't suffer any ergonomic issues because of it.

    *PC* trackpads are slow. The MacBook trackpad is BUTTER smooth and spaces is maybe the most practical window management solution out there today.

    I use two monitors along with the multiple desktops feature. Atom and Terminal+Finder on one screen. The app I am working on and stack overflow on the other.

    @aymswick YES. Exactly my thoughts.
