Exactly. My employer is currently replacing towers with laptops but we keep our monitors, keyboards, and mouse to attach and use with the new laptops. I can’t even imagine trying to get the amount of work needed without these.
I have a laptop with plugged into a docking station at work, with dual screen 17” monitors and a full key board and mouse. I don’t even notice that it’s not a tower.
But when I have to travel or have a meeting in a conference room, or work from home, it’s great. At home I plug into my Wifi, and wireless mouse and wireless keyboard; it’s almost like stitting at my desk except for the 2nd monitor.
And I have a wireless, rollup keyboard and small wireless mouse that I keep in my laptop bag for travel.
