I won’t do that during the work day, but having a KVM switch could be helpful. Everytime I want to use my personal machine I need to unplug and replug the USB hub and monitor. It’s only a couple of cables, but it’s annoying enough to the point I usually don’t bother.
Actually, I just saw this post, I really should get a KVM switch…
They are really great, I have two screens, a mechanical keyboard and a good mouse. When I press they key with the laptop up, I suddenly have 3 screens to work with. If I run any long running process or zi want to listen to music instead of running anything on the laptop I just press the switch and the top screens connect to the desktop while I can keep the screens showing me the progress of those processes below (the screen of the laptop itself).
Peiole talk about working with 2 screens, but I quite enjoy using 3 haha.
nono, the KVM supports 2 hdmi monitors (and I had to use a myriad of adapters to make them fit to the displayport and dvi ports of my monitors and the graphics card) and then the laptop itself works as a third monitor in the middle of the other two, where I have windows I don’t pay much attention to, but are still useful to have like teams, etc.
