Well, that depends on how fast you HAVE to do it, or want to. Also on what jobs you’re going to be doing. “People could save 2.5 hours a day” says the study with caveats “if they work 8 hours straight” and “if their tasks benefit from a larger screen”. So if your laptop is for your job which is primarily moving data between spreadsheets or otherwise comparing/working with two documents, maybe a little screen isn’t the best idea…I find it interesting that there’s a drop-off in productivity at 26″. It turns into a television in your mind then?

I suppose this means the new, smaller laptop I was planning to buy isn’t the best idea. 😛

As a heavy computer user this is no surprise to me. The more screen real estate available, I can keep several apps open at the same time.I found myself doing this more with a widescreen display that’s only 14.1 inches.
