Feedback from a university student - pros and cons

I will try to make it as short and concise as possible. Please note that I use this screen with two main laptops: ASUS Zenbook and MacBook Pro M1 14". From a prospective university student: -- Pros -- * Size! I can't stress this enough but this size is just perfect. It allows me to have multiple apps/programs open at the same time. Most useful when reading articles or coding (like the following tutorials) * Versatility is pretty good. It's a little less than ideal (around the vertical hinge). Rotate entire base.* Picture quality is amazing. Might not be as good as a MacBook Pro screen, but other than that it looks good too. When used with my other laptop (Asus), it really shows its merits.*Connectivity is via USB very useful.I won't go into detail on this, but I highly recommend searching the web as to why this is useful.--Cons --*Durability is a minor issue to its maximum extension, it wobbles quite easily. It's not possible to have a very strong table to limit this wobble, but it still won't help much. * Missing speakers. After paying so much for the screen it would be great to have built in speakers. Unfortunately, depending on your desk configuration, you may want to purchase external speakers. I'm about to get it seriously after a few months. * Not enough USB ports ---- EXTRA TIP ---- You may see reviews online from other users complaining about the USB-C connection not working after a while. In my experience, this has happened to me twice when I was able to connect to the screen but my MacBook Pro wouldn't charge. I found that once I updated the system it went back to normal. I believe you need to keep your system up to date to keep it working. However, I still have an issue with the display settings reverting to default when my laptop goes to sleep. It doesn't happen all the time, but often, and it's not very pleasant. I will update my review if I find a solution to this problem.
