    Best investment I've made in a long time. Very slim and sleek design. Easy to attach. I love how I can now swipe from one screen to another when working on multiple documents at the same time. I could not go back to using a single screen laptop. The Side Trak screen is lightweight and does not hinder my ability to travel with my laptop. I have flown with my laptop and have actually gotten into conversations with TSA agents on how they can get one. :) Love this additional screen and highly recommend it to anyone.

    Works great so far! I love that it swivels. It’s light weight and easy to use. Sticks well to my laptop and hasn’t fallen off yet. Also glad it came with magnets for two laptops. My only complaint is it’s really expensive compared to other similar products.

    OK so it took me a minute or two to actually finally get it attached correctly because I think I spun around the holding part. But once I figured out how to work it and kind of felt silly for not figuring it out sooner… I absolutely love this and it’s going to make my gaming laptop so much better as well as my work PC when I go to the office. It does come with two magnets so if you want to put it on two devices you’re good to go if you want to put it on your other laptops as well or maybe I just have way too many laptops you’d probably need to figure out if you can order more. I haven’t bothered to look into that yet but I mean it seems like a thing you could do. It’s also nice that if you wanna use it in vertical mode that it really does have a good stand for it. So yeah you don’t even need to attach this and it’s still useful. Considering getting a second one so that I can have them on both sides but that’s unlikely with the fact I sit on the couch and I would probably never use the second one but I do like this enough that it’s being considered. I added a photo of the magnet it’s on there really really good and it’s pretty thin so it doesn’t seem to upset anything.

    I absolutely love this portable monitor for my laptop. I love to work from bed at times but as an accountant I need that second monitor. With this thing I can just put it in my lap and I work away. Same thing for airports, so handy. The only issue I have is that the cables can be very sensitive and can easily disconnect the screen. I’ve thought about just getting new cables, but other than that I love how the monitor is easy to fold and stays in place.

    SideTrak is a good product

    The SideTrak is a great addition to my Macbook. I am on the go a lot, so when I need to sit down and work it is nice to have the extended screen space to view the information and tools I am accessing at the moment. The SideTrak is easy to set up and stows away after use very easily. The colors are vibrant and compliment my laptop well. The power cord is nice but I think that the company should look to modify the cord they use so it can last longer. I use my laptop and SideTrak a lot and after a year the cord/monitor wouldn't hook up to my laptop correctly. The port on my laptop works just fine with other devices so I am not sure if it is the cord or the monitor that has discontinued working as it should. Other than that, when it was working, I loved it.

    I have had this for almost 2 years now! I got it when I went back to school and having 2 screens has been a life saver! The cords get wrapped up sometimes with it being swivel, but I just unplug and fix them! But I love that it folds up and is the same size as my laptop!

    Really easy to setup and connect to laptop using USB-C. Display has a nice clean look and folds behind laptop when not in use. So nice to have a second screen when using a laptop now. Picture quality is good.

    The Sidetrak screen is well built. And easy to connect with just one cable. The metal plate is just peel and stick cant go wrong with how secure it feels once attached.

    The only thing we don’t like is the wires- we have to use two wires and only one has a right angle. But otherwise, we love it- works great. Magnet has not sagged or anything. “Cool rig.”

    Hinge is loose causing the side monitor to sag and wobble while typing. The USB C connection does not work on it's own reliably and the HDMI connection cable is cheap inflexable rubber that makes cable management difficult. The connector for the mini hdmi along the side of the monitor is not centered with the cutout in the case, making it extremely difficult to plug in.

    Great monitor. Unfortunately for the price, it needs to be a bit more ruggedized to stand the travel and storage in a backpack. Be sure to get the extended warranty if you purchase this item.

    I dislike the cable management, think the product would be nicer if i could clip the connection cable behind or on the bottom of the monitor and out of the way.
