Computer recommendations part 2
I settled on a laptop to buy but I would also like to buy 2 monitors for it and a wireless keyboard/mouse. What do you all use? Is your primary monitor for your editor, and your secondary one for viewing your localhost/webpage? Or vice versa? The monitor I have now seems fine for my editor but it is too horizontal for viewing web pages IMO: 22" 1920x1080. I would like something less rectangular and more square. That ratio is too big for my liking. I am searching Amazon now but wanted to get some recommendations first. Also, any ideas on the "best" wireless mouse/keyboard brand? And what about external speakers?
On a side note, would it be worth it to either 1) Upgrade the RAM for my laptop, and/or 2) Somehow "reset" my laptop to ignore Windows 11 updates? For #2, somehow I may have clicked a link to update my Win10 to Win11 and it's been causing problems since then.

Ok, should the 2nd monitor be smaller than the first since there is a price difference?
And if a smaller is fine, is it best to use that for your editor or for viewing you project?
Min/max sizes would be helpful
entirely up to you, smaller is fine, it won't affect your work, depends on what you need/want I'd go for the monitor with the biggest resolution for the editor as crisp text is easier to read
if they're both the same then 
try both and see how you like it best, I'd prolly go for the bigger monitor but I am not a front end dev so I mostly just write/read code
idk about keyboard but logitech has some good stuff, I personally use their g305 mouse and it's great and cheap

just a mouse
should I buy them separately or as a mouse/keyboard kit?
idk whatever fits your budget, if you buy them separately at least you get to choose as a kit you'll be stuck with whatever they want you to buy
which may not be bad but
