I have the asus mb16amt which supports auto rotation - in windows - if you install a piece of software. Android has no support for auto rotation.

I do the same thing! I have an Asus Zenscreen 15.6" with built in battery, touch, and speaker (MB16AMT). It makes an awesome large tablet experience!

I both agree and disagree with this. I have an asus MB16AMT, bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I love the portability of it (especially that the monitor has a built in battery). However, you can't use it in your lap like an actual lapdock. So its a love/hate relationship.

During COVID, my work gave us a few hundred to improve our home office that we could keep even if we left the company. I got one of the Asus zenscreen things, like a laptop in a sense but is touch, micro HDMI, and USB c (dp). I use it on my Chromebook, regular laptop, and even my mobile devices. heck, I even played consoles on it! Only thing that somewhat annoys me is that it's only 1080p60 but I can't really complain since it was cheap as it was just over the max budget my work gave so I had to pay for what was over. If I had the same opportunity today, I would get a similar style (builtin battery/truly portable) but I would focus more on the resolution, even if I had to go with some random Amazon brand. Don't get me wrong, I do love that it's touch+name brand but I feel it would be better for me if it had a larger resolution. Though if cost is a non-issue to you, the zenscreens are really nice.

I have a 15inch m4 macbook air and i use my old asus zenscreen 15inch. It's now my secondary monitor even at home and i keep my macbook docked. At coffees i have the screen over my laptop screen to take less space on a overly expansive stand lol ( FLEXSTA ). At work i have them side by side with my laptop on a roost stand. At home i have it rotated 90degree next to my studio display

I purchased one of the Asus Zenscreen 15” a year or so ago. Brilliant and came with a pouch and USB-C cable.

Asus ZenScreen 13 or 15, 13 is super light, 1 cable (powered by USBC) Quality isn’t great - not for gaming but prioritize which content you want on your laptop and which can be on the secondary.

Asus ZenScreen. I'm selling mine if you happen to be in New York (I went up to an 18"), although it's LED and 1080. No reason why you'd need 4k resolution on a 16".

I love mine, but recently I found out it won't play full HD content from one particular platform because it isn't HDCP compliant. A big blow. There is no HDMI, just a USB Micro B. Fine for YouTube, Netflix and Amazon but for this one platform - Stan (in Australia) - it just won't. I have an Asus ZenScreen but not a high-end one, and I got it long before Stan acquired the English Premier League (my sole reason for having the subscription!!). Perfect for everything else, just not this. So now I need to buy a new one with HDMI. I've gone for an ARZOPA A1. Arrives tomorrow. Just something to consider when checking the specs..

I used to use a ZenScreen but somewhere along the way I stopped using it. Don't know why to be honest
