I just returned arzopa, do not buy it. It's clearly not meant for desktops because it worked fine with my Mac but as soon as I tried to use it was my PC it was constantly showing no signal. I tried every combination of cable that would work with this thing and nothing ever happened.
As a followup to [my remote tech work packing list](https://www.reddit.com/r/onebag/comments/1rp2ob8/indefinite_remote_tech_work_gr1_26l/), here's what the setup looks like unpacked and in use: The laptop is a Macbook Pro 16". I charge it via USB-C with a Ugreen Nexode Pro 65W and have it raised up on a Roost V3 stand. The portable monitor is an Arzopa Z3FC 16" resting on the Macbook's keyboard. I have it rotated 180 degrees so that I can more easily run the USB-C cable under the back of it, elevating it from the keyboard enough to avoid heating up anything sensitive. Since I lose access to the Macbook's keyboard and trackpad with this setup, I use a Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad. I used to pack more ergonomic alternatives but these are so flat that they disappear in my GR1's internal device sleeve.
I used an iPad Pro in Sidecar mode for years and it worked great. If you already have an iPad and want to use it as an iPad in addition to Sidecar duty then definitely go that route. I ended up consolidating devices and ditched the iPad. In direct comparison, a dedicated portable monitor will offer a larger screen for less packed weight and at a much lower price.

It’s not especially bright and the coating isn’t ideal for outdoor or overhead light, but it was the thinnest and lightest 16” screen I could find for the money. I think it’s a great buy at the moment but I’ll happily replace it once portable OLEDs are more widely avallable.
The trick is to get a magnet stronger and wider the ones you see on mobile phones. And also to get a similar size ferrous metal backplate with 3m (super easy to find also) for the monitor itself. I also have the arzopa z3fc. Also it's fun to build
Arzopa 16.1” is awesome.
Arzopa! Just take note madalas siya mag sale. Bought my 16.1” at 8k (full price) when bumababa pala siya ng below 6 k
Pair of ARZOPA 16.1'' works great.
Thanks for that. Had a bit of a problem with an Arzopa 16” portable with Amazon. It looked like somebody had been playing football with the box. Returned immediately.
I have an Arzopa 16" portable monitor and its great! Makes traveling with a laptop so much better.
