If you’re not a fan of your laptop’s screen, you may prefer to connect up one of the best monitors instead. That way, you can get a more comfortable typing experience and a nicer viewing experience at the same time. Essentially, you’ll have all the advantages of a desktop computer setup, but with the option to disconnect your laptop when you need to work on the go.

There’s just one problem: you don’t want to be distracted by seeing the same thing on two separate screens. Well, actually, that’s not a problem at all. Because it’s pretty easy to set up your laptop so it carries on working even when closed. And that’s the case whether you use a Windows laptop or a MacBook (or any of our best graphic design laptops).
