I kinda like the look of them and often feel myself wanting a second monitor if I’m working on my laptop.
(I’ve come to the conclusion if people think I’m working I won’t look like as much of a massive dork)
Always had the feeling they’d be a bit crap though, like the hinges break or the monitor isn’t too good or it’s big and bulky and you can’t really carry it
Ideally I’d like to find a single fold out side monitor that attaches to my laptop (big chunky ThinkPad) somehow and doesn’t need its own power supply but that may be asking too much
I have one from dell. It has the dell matte finish which I’m not a fan of. It does pass through power so I can put the usbc charge cable on the monitor, then a cable from the monitor to the laptop, to avoid using 2 usbc ports on the laptop. Because of the cable layout I can’t put it right up next to the laptop.
It folds down and is light but I only put it in my bag if I know I’m goin to use it.
I’d get another but I would get Lenovos model to hopefully have the same style finish in the screen.
Can it not be powered via the same cable the display goes over? I only have one usb c port and would rather not have multiple cables for it at all if I can help it
Yes, it has two usbc ports and does charging pass through. You just need a decent usb-c cable between the monitor and the laptop. I think usb3.2 or thunderbolt4 are the protocols that can do video and power.
