looks good in image, but functionally... not so much. it does work, it does sever it's purpose but portability is minimal.
1) CON: the wiring is 100% exposed, so the image makes it look like the wires are all internal and connect maybe through like a USB, this is not the case. Each monitor has their own options on the sides, so you must use the supplied wires on each monitor, requiring you to deal with cabling your own way. not ideal, they could have integrated a single or even a dual usb 3.0 / usb 3.1 or even a single USB C as the display and power for both like a docking station, but they did not.
2) CON: the weight of them sounds light weight, it is. however it is still a bit too much for the screen hinge to handle at an angle. the kickstand they provide built in for support is magnetic or spring loaded, so it's not very reliable when extended it closes in on itself easily and on little motions/movements.
3) CON: the grabbing latches that hang on to the top of the laptop monitor are just a bit too short. My solution was to 3D print replacement ones, which work for me, but if you do not have this solution or skill set even, then better go with a smaller size to ensure they will fit properly
4) PRO: the quality seems nice in terms of design (other than wiring). the screen resolution itself works out to be as desired
5) CON: the folding up mechanism does place the outside (left) screen in danger of being damaged as it is exposed when folded up. it may be design intention so it can be flipped to the back and viewed by like a customer, but if we're using 3 monitors and want it for portability, it's a flaw. this also renders the angles of viewing as problematic. If you tilt it back too far, the left one that swings to the back collapses if the angle is too far back because of the direction the hinge swings.
6) CON / Info: If you were wondering if this can be folded up when in use for transport, it cannot. you must remove the entire unit prior to transport, which means you need to carry the cables with you and store those as well.
overall: I tested this for a teammate at an office, for me I would not likely keep it for portability, but hopefully the teammates circumstances are different than my critiques. This would be a cool Remote desk set up, but don't plan on using this on your lap or anywhere other than where there's a hard and stable surface for the kickstand functionality.

First need to point out it came with a broke off tab on the bottom right that should attach to the notebook screen. I will make something and glue it on. Minor but disappointing. However it was easy to hook up to my samsung galaxy and works as expected and am happy with the results. I guess I like it enough that I don't want to deal with sending it back and will fix this minor issue. I would suggest this product otherwise.

This is much bulkier than it appears in the pictures and does not allow for on laptop storage. The screens and function are clunky and the device requires multiple connections to function.
Overall very disappointing purchase and I returned after understanding the functionality shortfalls.

easy set up and great to travel with! flexible use, great graphics, box is solid so I can pack it back up safely, multiple connection options so its adaptable to my different laptop plugs. My only concern is the physical stress it places on one side of my laptop screen. There is a slight pull on one side of the screen and I'm interested to see if that pull on my laptop starts to twist my screen over time. I don't recommend leaving the tri-screen on the laptop for extended periods of time due to this slight pressure on one side.

Lots of cords and even when it’s plugged in, if it bumps around the screens go out. Too bad this product is not returnable!! :(

A great buy but be careful about the size you're ordering. If you have a 14" laptop don't buy the 13" monitor (it'll be too big). Buy the 11" instead.
