Storage.

Honestly dude, thats your call, unless you provide more info, i can't tell what you're going to need first. like if you're a video editor, storage > monitor , if your a sysadmin or something monitor > storage

I do video editing as a hobby and play vidya

Storage. Old dell monitors like pic related are about $50 anyways and are good enough from shitposting.

I was in the same situation recently and I went for the monitor. I think it's a much more significant quality of life improvement for your setup than more storage, I don't regret the decision. It might depend on what you need the storage specifically for, though? For me it's pretty much just for more pirated movies which I can hold off on.

Needs are same as you, I think you're right, a monitor is a more obvious improvement

Yeah man, porn with two screens is the shit. Seriously.

Dual monitor is a fucking meme. Go for storage.

How is significantly improved multi-tasking a meme?

Definitely get another monitor or just hook up your computer to a tv monitor, Ive got mine connected to a 7year old panasonic lcd.

The ability to code on one screen and test/debug on another is phenomenal, or watch tutorials on one and work on the other, or browse web on one and work on the other etc. Its invaluable, I would NEVER go back to a single monitor, I'm even weighing up whether its worth getting a 3 monitor but I think the benefits might be a lesser ROI.

I sorely wish that there's a way to connect my tablet to my laptop when at school so as to have a dual monitor set up albeit a little smaller.

And you could always just delete some sdtuff from your HD if you really are desperate.

imo having enough storage is a necessity and more than 1 monitors is a luxury.

Added benefits of a tv screen is that I don't need external speakers because it's connected with a hdmi cable to a display port adapter on my x220.

Storage, you can always sit closer to your screen

Get the monitor, it will be more fun

He uses it for hobby and vidya, no one needs a dual monitor for vidya, it's ok at work, but that's it.

Slidenjoy seems like your kind of thing.
