In fact, I'd get a macbook air, now any suggestion about THIN 21" standalone display? Like fucking thin, so I could take a macbook air + that display when I travel to work in a hotel.

Hi Sid,
I have no recommendations on a 21" monitor for you, sorry, but there are definitely lots to choose from.
There's a cool feature in OS/X that I only really started using this year. In OSX, you can "extend" your desktop without the need for multiple monitors. I think its called a "Virtual Extended Desktop". You can create additional desktops, and then "swipe" between them using 3 fingers on the trackpad.
When I want to work on my Macbook air, I setup a desktop with an HTML editor in full screen, then create a second desktop with a browser in full screen, then a 3rd with FTP, and a 4th with Photoshop for example.
Then to switch between screens, all I have to do is the 3-finger swipe left or right on the trackpad.
It's surprising natural, and moving between screens is instant. It's much better than trying to pack the 4 windows all on to the same screen, or click between them.
Of course this also works if you have 2 monitors and an extended desktop.
