Yeah. I'm really considering to buy a new one after Christmas. :)

I don't use dual monitors, nor do I feel the need to, considering that I don't do anything that would require the extra space for that workflow. Just having one large screen is enough for me.

A little dark, but this is my home office. I work here all day every day and also make music here :)

There's three desks in this room ... the desk behind this one now holds a tall Thermaltake case with an E6700 Dual Core system (the monitor behind my iMac is a 24" Samsung T240 hooked up to the PC)

It's a work room mainly.

Same ... I have a 27 inch 2560x1440 screen. I really don't need dual monitors. I used to have dual screen but found I ignored the second screen or used it for MSN and that was about it. And I do graphics work for a living.... so you'd assume I'd want dual screen. Just isn't the bonus people assume.

OMG that keyboard is so tiny! I would loose it. LOL.

Naw, it's perfect size. The keys are laid out exactly the right size etc. I hated it at first. Got used to it in a few hours, and now I can't see the point in a clunky great big thing. I like desk space :D

I use mine for graphics and I also write a lot. I use the other smaller screen for my media player. Works well.

I can have the photoshop controls off to the side on the second and have more room for the image I'm working on.

Dual screens are awesome. It totally is a bonus! - I use two 2560x1600 screens for Coding and Media work in general.

Well, like I say ... I used to use dual screen but I find it an unimportant thing. Everyone is different tho :)

I must say tho ... that dual screen gaming thing looks stupid. Wouldn't you have a big fat bar down the center of your screen where your gun is aimed in Half Life 2? :D

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
