Hi, another comment voting for the laptop (sorry).I have music tabs, plot points and relevant characters notes, and maybe even some images open for locations and scenes. The game I'm currently running comes with a screen (mouse guard) but I've found no good use for it yet, and I roll dice in the open cos not doing so feels silly. But if you really want a screen, most games have some made. Chronicles of Darkness games have tables and how to use xp, but again, never found them too useful. Keeping good flow and an immersive setting for rp is more important to me, and a screen gets in the way.
It sounds like most people are using a laptop!
