You can plug a laptop into an external monitor and also use a separate wireless full-size keyboard and mouse (I do when I go visiting). Using a laptop screen, keyboard and trackpad drives me nuts for anything other than idle surfing. If your TV has an HDMI port you can probably plug it into the TV too, although maybe your TV only cost £5 decades ago and is wind-up.
The idea of lying back on the couch with a wireless keyboard and mouse, laptop by the TV, and working on a 48" screen might seem inviting, but when I tried it it was unworkable, whether because of the screen resolution or my senile eye-focusing ability I don't remember.

That's very nice of you Terril. I'd prefer a desktop but all the second-hand shops seem to have these days are laptops, and that's probably where I'm going to get my next machine.
