Tip of the Week:  How to Triple Your Productivity The trick is pretty simple: use three times as many monitors.

You can do this rather on the cheap (as I currently am). I use these three: my Macbook Pro 15″ Retina, and two run-of-the-mill 21″ LCD monitors.

Automated docking and full integration with Mac OS X together make the world's most intelligent docking station. Powerful.
