What size monitor do you use? Linux or PC? 2 monitors or 1?

13" Mac Pro 16gb ram, 256gb SSD.

When at my desk it is connected to 2 - 24" monitors. Usually on one monitor I keep my IDE open, generally Webstorm and on the other I have a terminal window with 4-5 tabs and email etc. I also keep a browser for testing open on the same monitor I have my IDE open on.

My second machine right now is a Toshiba 17" Windows 7 laptop with 16gb RAM, 256gb SSD, VS2013. I generally don't use it but do when I have to deal with a Windows project. I have been wanting to move this to a VM on my Mac but just haven't gotten to it.

Sounds like a nice setup. Curious. How do you connect 2 monitors to a laptop? Do you use VGA, or HDMI?

On my Mac I use the display port to hdmi + a USB adapter. The USB adapter isn't perfect but for my uses it works well.

I have DELL box with SDD/HDD/i7, running with one 28" 4K LCD monitor; integrated graphics can only drive this and nothing else, so no multi-monitor. I don't really miss it though; 4K is awesome.

My laptop is a 15" rMBP; everything is running Windows 8.1.

For work: 13" Retina MacBook Pro, i5, 8gb Ram, 256gb SSD. Connected to a decent monitor, not sure of exact dimensions. Magic Trackpad and keyboard. Tab between WebStorm, IntelliJ, Chrome, Hipchat, Limechat occasionally and Terminal. (This does get annoying because I mistab often).

For School: 15" Retina MacBook Pro 2.6 GhZ i7, 16gb Ram, 512 SSD No monitor. Gaming mouse and keyboard.
