One aspect (for me, anyway) is in order to program, I need a big screen, because 
I have several windows open at once. I've gotten so used to it it is very hard 
for me to program with a small display. And to think that when I started, 24*80 
displays were the norm for a good decade! But then I'd print out a paper listing 
as a supplement, and spread that out over a big table.

I also cannot type from a cramped airline seat. I have never successfully done 
any work on an airplane. But reading a book on a tablet works just ducky.

And I have a laptop, a small tablet, and a large tablet.
