Have you ever felt like you need to change your computer from 14-inch to 16-inch after using Cursor?

It used to be very comfortable to write code on 14 inches only with vscode. Since AI programming, because I have never been a big fan of external monitors, now there is an extra AI window on the right side of the IDE, and the screen area is no longer enough.
