M14 Portable Monitor

I have M14 as well. Useful in a pinch while travelling. Which ThinkPad do you have? P14s gen 5/6? The hinge is likely give away.

I have a different Acer portable monitor and it’s great. When I used to travel for work it was a life savior. No negative comments to report, survived 3 years of being on the road every day. Train rides, airports, hotels, random client offices… survived it all. Not sure if that matters to you, but I actually just picked up a Lenovo M14 portable monitor to be a second screen for my desktop for misc applications like discord etc when I game with friends on the weekends. That one is amazing as well.

My Acer is powered by the USB. The Lenovo has a separate power plug

I haven't used Aura specifically but ive tried a few portable monitors over the years. For a reliable option, the [ASUS ZenScreen MB16AHG](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ASUS+ZenScreen+MB16AHG+portable+monitor&language=en_US&tag=bestdeals202f-20&ref=as_li_ss_tl) has been really solid in my experience - good color and brightness for a portable. Another one that gets consistently good feedback is the [Lenovo ThinkVision M14](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Lenovo+ThinkVision+M14+portable+monitor&language=en_US&tag=bestdeals202f-20&ref=as_li_ss_tl), especially if you need something with adjustable height. Portable monitor reviews can be hit or miss, so sticking with known brands for support might save you some headache down the line.

I do have a second portable Lenovo M14 screen for travel with the laptop, which is a major boon for the occasional "work from someone else's home" (family during the holidays). I can't take meetings on one screen anymore--screenshare _and_ notes _and_ my own tests require at least four windows. I'm mostly desk-bound due to hardware requirements, though I can SSH into my desktop from anywhere to use it's horsepower. I kinda like being in one "workspace" for most tasks. I take reading to my armchair sometimes, when I have an hour to do nothing but go over a new standard or something.

I have the Lenovo M14 (1920x1080; there is also the M14d which is 16x10 aspect ratio). USB-C for both video and power. It has a sturdy flip stand, which I would take over a kick stand, and which includes 2 USB-C connectors, one on either side (one reviewer wished that there was a connector on the back - oh, well). Just tried it with my Lenovo Duet and it just worked. It came with a foam sleeve that would provide excellent protection, albeit it is a bit bulky.
