Having my MacBook centered underneath one of my external displays is an efficient way to have 2 external displays within close visual range.No need to reorient myself with a new setup when I swap back and forth. If I use my laptop screen as my primary display / keyboard / trackpad when at home I feel just as comfortable when I am without my external displays. Since I work remotely, from time to time I take my laptop out of my house and work from other locations like coffee shops.I feel that less hand travel makes me more productive. I like that I do not need to move my fingers far to switch between the keys and the trackpad. I like the proximity of the trackpad in relation to the keyboard.It’s the best trackpad on a laptop, bar-none.

Why waste a screen in clamshell mode or relegate it off to the side when I could take full advantage of it? The MacBook retina display is truly great.Some people are surprised I do this because a more typical setup with external displays is to use an external display as the primary one and an external keyboard / trackpad. I use it as my primary screen, keyboard, and touchpad. I am really happy with my multiple display arrangement and would like to share my setup.
