Boost your mobile productivity with a bigger-screen laptop — or one with two screens
The more computer-screen real estate you have, the more room you have to spread out, and the more productive you will be. At least, that has been my experience.
At my home-office desk, I have three screens: that of my employer-supplied Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, raised to about eye level with a stand, and flanked by 27-inch monitors. This allows me to have three, four, even five windows open and unobstructed.
So I feel constricted when I am away from my workstation and trying to get stuff done on a single 14-inch screen. It’s nice that I can grab my ThinkPad and go, but working on it becomes more of a chore because I am no longer able to throw up multiple windows and glance among them.
What’s the solution? There are two obvious ones:
- Use more than one display while on the go.
- Use one display while on the go, but bigger.
I’ve lately been experimenting with both scenarios, which have major implications for the mobile-work crowd.
On the multiple-display front, I’ve been trying out Lenovo’s Yoga Book 9i, a Windows laptop with a twist. You have two full displays when you open it, top and bottom, instead of a traditional laptop arrangement of a display at the top with a physical keyboard and trackpad at the bottom.

Coors historian counts down 10 of her favorite artifacts from the brewery’s 150-year history
By Christine Ricciardi, Denver Post
Heidi Harris grew up near Golden, Colorado, where the Coors brewery was a fixture of the skyline. But she had never taken the popular tour of the historic brewing facility until about eight years ago when she started working there.
In 2015, Harris joined Coors — now part of the Molson Coors Beverage Co. — as its corporate archivist, tasked with maintaining the official record of the beer pioneer, which was founded in 1873 by German immigrant Adolph Coors.
Today, her office is a 9,500-square-foot cell on the third floor of Coors’ hop storage building in Golden. There, in the climate-controlled room, she’s surrounded by photos, documents, ledgers and promotion materials, many of which date back a century or more.
“It’s not quite filled to the brim, but there’s a lot of stuff in there,” Harris said.
On Saturday, Coors celebrates its 150th anniversary. Ahead of that, Harris offered a deep dive into the archive with 10 artifacts that tell Coors’s story, from 1891 to 2021.
What happens when your 0% intro APR period ends?
Credit cards that offer a 0% intro APR can be extremely appealing — especially if you’re hoping to pay off old debt, fund a big purchase or cover a few months of expenses interest-free. Current credit card interest rates average more than 20%, which means that applying for a credit card with a promotional 0% interest rate could save you a lot of money.
But what happens when your 0% intro APR ends? With a credit card promotional rate ending, you could find yourself stuck with higher interest rates and a balance that you aren’t prepared to pay off.
Here’s what you need to know about 0% interest credit cards, including how to find out when your 0% APR offer ends and how you can avoid paying interest after your promotional APR period is over.
What happens when your 0% intro APR period ends?
The promotional period typically lasts 12 to 21 months. Once the promotional period is over, you’ll start accruing interest on any unpaid balances. That includes balances that you charged or transferred to the credit card during the promotional APR period — not just new charges.
