I prefer a single larger display, but the price on the XDR is just bonkers. Especially if you all you want is a high dpi display. 2 studios on a dual monitor arm would be my choice.

Veldig glad Sketch lar oss utviklere utvikle 💛 Slik ser min jobbkalender ut denne uka 👇

SLUTT MED ÅPENT LANDSKAP, MOBILE STILLEROMSBOKSER OG STILLESONER. Gi folk isteden et kontor. Sånn med dør. Fixed it. End rant 😅 kode24.no/artikkel/sann-…
