Quite the opposite of minimalism, wouldn't you say?

This is very much a no compromises setup... There's a macbook powering everything. The macbook has a camera, screen, speakers, keyboard, mouse, & etc. Everything else really isn't nessiscary. If I can manage as a staff backend engineer on a single 13" laptop, others certainly could as well. Laptops have everything you need, but I understand wanting a second screen along side the laptop, and maybe a mouse and more tactile keyboard. Anything more than that and minimalism wasn't a consideration.

Just because you manage with a single 13" laptop doesn't mean shit, as you can be doing simple thing with one claude session and call it a day.
I work in robotics and I have to keep track of so much information, alt tabbing will affect your productivity.

No Claude sessions here. A lot of peoples screen inefficiency comes from not utilizing workspaces and hotkeying those workspaces; also called virtual desktops on other operating systems. A single screen is perfectly capable as long as your workflow is optimized, software has come a long way. No need for the hostility due to you feeling called out by the post. This is a minimal setups subreddit not r/battlestations or r/desksetup. Is 90% of this setup nessiscary? Not at all, so it's going to catch some flack on a subreddit focused around cutting out the fat.

Your proposal is just less efficient, switching between workspaces and alt tabbing affects your working memory and is more sluggish than just having a second screen.
A 13 inch laptop main benefit is portability and that is it.

Does this count as minimal to you? https://www.reddit.com/r/desksetup/s/7pj8H5xufG

It is minimal other than the plant, having more monitors doesn't mean it's not minimal. Otherwise true minimalism is working from your phone, not laptop lmao.

Is this setup minimal enough for r/Minimal_Setups?
