I use one if these. Not cheap but very slick and portable. https://sotsu.com
I have the Sotsu FlipAction Elite 16” that my work got me and I’m a huge fan of it
If you working in a static setup from a desk get a proper monitor If out and about the go for it, I got sotsu flipaction 16 go, absolutely brilliant monitor Typically portable monitors have very poor brightness levels, which is why I got the sotsu as I use it when working in the garden etc
It's the Sotsu! That's the only portable monitor that's worth money.
Single easiest setup is a lapdock Uperfect or nexdock, we've reviewed a ton here For travel keyboards and mice, protoarc has also been well received here For a dedicated monitor, I really like the SOTSU monitors, as they have proper stands as well as use almost no power from a dex device
yup, there are many that work just fine. I've always got one with me, whether it's a SOTSU, or Nexdock, or Uperfect
We've reviewed a ton of everything dex related here For folding keyboards, we really like the protoarc ones Im also a huge fan of their hub mouse (comes with a hidden Usb-c hub) For portable monitors, I really like the Sotsu monitors, but ive also got a ton of uperfect panels of every size and resolution
Have you ever looked at a Sotsu portable monitor? That is my bread and butter when traveling. https://preview.redd.it/c2jktd6pxglg1.jpeg?width=6042&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c2972336a5d1c2863b8eefd2e693705db877dd5
Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a portable monitor. I work as a software developer and often move between different offices and my home, so portability is important. I really like the SOTSU monitor because it can be set up vertically and positioned right behind my MacBook Pro’s screen, aligning perfectly above it. However, it’s quite expensive. Do you know of any alternatives that offer similar features—especially the vertical setup and the ability to stack neatly with a MacBook Pro—without breaking the bank? Also, I would like a similar quality as the integrated monitor. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
I do, but I was looking for something a little bit bigger that can be used at eye level. Sotsu monitor seems like the perfect match. But it’s as expensive as an iPad. I cannot find a stand that would do the same as sotsu but for the iPad
A couple of years ago I bought a Sotsu monitor it was $450 at the time and seemed crazy expensive but I love it. I use a roost knock off stand to elevate my laptop so they are at the same height. I bring a mouse and a keyboard. Is it heavy? Yea, but a small price to pay to be able to work from almost anywhere. I may even get a second one for extended stays. I agree with the person who said crappy chairs are a bigger problem.
