typing on it. Especially if you are a touch typist. That's even more important if you are writing code, because there is no spell checker for programming!
I wouldn't be able to code on a laptop, not for long; but yes, I have done it. I produced less when using a thing with small screen and small keyboard. I prefer a full size and fully featured keyboard with a solid feeling, plus a good trackball (and a huge screen). Others will prefer a mouse, of course.
A laptop with a 17" screen will typically have a full size keyboard. I'm using one now. I also have a second monitor attached. The second monitor is elevated such that it is directly above my laptop screen. I too use a trackball and I have the GUI configured to let me move the mouse pointer straight up and it goes from the laptop screen to the big display. It takes two seconds to pull out the video cable and be ready to travel. (I do it every night.). I do a lot of command line work and I'm perfectly happy with that arrangement. Admittedly I don't write c code much anymore.
