Review on 13.3-inch Portable Fagomfer Extender - Enhance Laptop Experience by Cody Robertson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Freed up desktop space

I've always had multiple monitors when I wanted to spend more than a few hours getting work done. On the go, I often use my iPad or the ASUS MB168B monitor. I've had it for many years, but I've never liked how much space it takes up on my desk, so I looked for a better solution. This monitor meets my needs. This is something I can easily detach and attach to my laptop when needed. I have multiple laptops and can switch between them. My old Lenovo P1 laptop requires USB-C for charging and a separate USB-C or HDMI for sending video to power the monitor, so most of the images show that. When connected to my new Lenovo X1 Nano , it only needs a USB-C for charging and sending videos. I assume most new laptops only need one cable. This might be a limitation given the age of my old laptop, but I don't mind. Most of the time, the second monitor sits to the right of my Lenovo P1, which is always on my sunbed. The old ASUS was too dark when I started working from the solarium. This display is brighter than my old screen. It doesn't have the darkest blacks compared to OLED displays when I set it to the brightest setting. See pictures. It reproduces text and my work perfectly and I am very happy that it has increased my productivity. Also, its screen is a bit smaller than my old USB monitor, but it fits my current screen perfectly, and it's nice that it doesn't take up desk space, freeing it up for other things. I usually have a small notepad at the bottom where I didn't have anything. There's also a stand, but I didn't need it for my computer. In general I am satisfied. If dark black or color bothers you, you might want to keep looking, but for most people who need a basic second display to get the job done, this will be fine. I will keep it and probably buy it again.
