>>>*laptop at home and at work each day at exactly __the same space__, where all the cables and extra monitors were.*
Nope. Actually, just like with my phone chargers, I like to have a laptop charger in all the spaces I like to compute.. I like to have a charger in my bedroom, my living room and in the garage.
I used to have this for all my machines - though I now have a new HP Omen (bad ass machine) - but I only have one charger for it currently.
I havent touched my ipad in a really long time.
But here is a tip - this super light and super cheep USB screen is AMAZING to have with a laptop:
(This thing was $69 when I bought it - but its now $99 but still - a USB only monitor is fantastic.

What I do, is I make it the top monitor - and I have this TV Tray stand that is at the perfect level for me to have my laptop on my lap, a tray or a TV tray, and then I have the AOC monitor on this stand and I just move up to click on that mon...

I have two AOC monitors, one is 1920x180 crisp and clear and great it was ~$180 when I bought it [0]
The other is 1366x768 or whatever, but it was only $69 when I bought it. But this one isnt too bright and has a poor viewing angle.
I use them both with my 15" HP Omen, and they work fantastic as a 3-monitor Laptop Setup... I use the high quality one for extra screen space for apps like illustrator , running a browser with say - youtube tutorials etc...
And I use the poorer quality one for text reading - or playing a youtube tutorial if I am learning something like, again, how to draw something in Illustrator.
