Another disadvantage is that if you use projectors for presentations, a lot
of the older models will give less than desirable results. You'll have to
change your laptop to a non-native resolution and will probably lose some
sharpness and/or get a funny aspect ratio.

Here, you'll usually have to go with the 1920xblah resolution display
upgrades to properly display two high-res full screen windows
side-by-side (or 4 800x600 screens at once on the same display).

More columns if, like me, you work with spreadsheets. It can also
be easier to work in two applications at once, side-by-side rather
than alt-tabbing between them.
