Years ago, I had a job where they gave me a work laptop and an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard to use with it.  The laptop's screen actually had a higher resolution than the external monitor though, and I ended up using the laptop screen as my main screen, as I could see more content at one time on it.

I'm in a similar situation now too, though the aspect ratios of the screns are different.  My work laptop has a 3840x2400 screen, and work also gave me an external ultrawide monitor which is 3440x1440.  I considered using the laptop screen as my main screen with this setup, but I feellike the laptop screen is actually a little small to read easily, so I've been using the external ultrawide monitor.
