Maximize Your Workspace with SideTrak Attachable Portable Kickstand - Compatible with 14", 1920X1080, 60Hz and Lightweight Review

I am very happy with this addition to my WFH setup. I usually work in my home studio/office where I have 2 large monitors, but sometimes you just need a change of scenery. Sidetrak is perfect for working on the couch, at your desk, or on the go (hotels, airports, etc.)! Setup is easy, with one cable and no downloads. And I was happy with the screen resolution and brightness. I have a swivel model that turns on and off with magnets. The magnets are surprisingly strong and I had no issues with…

It was expensive, but I liked the way it folds and tilts back to my laptop. As the title tag says, make sure your C-Port can handle it. I don't know how to know beforehand, but since my C-port wasn't working, I went with the HDMI route option. The problem for me is that I used the HDMI port to connect to my TV. So I bought an HDMI switch, but this new monitor didn't like it. I didn't like the sharing, although the switch directs the signal to where it's needed. This only worked if I removed the

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to express my satisfaction! It was probably the best investment I've ever made! I originally bought a 15.8" Innoview OLED touchscreen and returned it due to limited touch capability (not worth the extra cost). Life! I was initially hesitant to buy this due to reviews/comments about dull colors and low brightness as I edit and design a lot of content, but it exceeded my expectations. To be honest, I find the colors far from boring and I could visually…

I write machine code for a living and travel quite often. I have an amazing 49 inch ultra wide screen at home that works great but if I have to go to a customer site I definitely find a laptop screen to be limiting. Enter this siding. I have the 14" version and it's almost bug free. Yes I wish it was a bit better, with a brighter screen, higher resolution etc. But this device is up to the number of travel usb screens that are too Using USB C so superior it's like Alabama vs Montana in football…

I bought this because you can place it on different sides of a laptop monitor. I have a MacBook Pro and it's on the left side of the screen so the screen is essentially upside down. When connected to the lighting port; instantly recognizes the monitor and the correct screen orientation; So I don't have to go into settings and flip the screen or anything. The only downside to this monitor is that it lacks brightness, which in turn affects picture quality. The magnets you attach to the back of…

This is a computer monitor designed for portability. It's decently portable and given that there are compromises in the design of each product. The trade-off here is that it's quite brittle and will crack on routine rides. I took my screen into my personal padded briefcase, the padded laptop-only compartment, and it still cracked. I think I also took care of it very sensibly and responsibly. So as long as it gets the job done and offers more than two screens for on-the-go productivity, it's…

It worked great until the cable that came with the screen worked. I bought 3 other cables to get the screen working ($24.99 each) but now it turns on and off with each cable. This had never happened with the original cable, and in fact I was less than a month out of the maintenance window. This is very unsatisfying when I was considering buying another screen to have 3 screens on my laptop.

I like this monitor although the backlight could be brighter even at maximum. If you're like me, I've spent ages researching their competitor and others. I chose this one because it had more positive reviews. Doesn't fall off, I've had it for a year now. I've only replaced the magnets once on a laptop when it started to weaken and I've boosted the magnets by 3 meters. I love plug and play as I use it between work and my personal laptops. The functionality of tethering to a laptop rather than…

I wasn't entirely sure about this product as I haven't seen many mentions of using it with a Microsoft Surface. I work remotely 2-3 times a week and needed an extra screen for projects. I wanted something that could be attached if possible or just used on the go. I'd say the screen is too big to hold onto with magnets, at least when I put it on, but I still like how lightweight and portable it is. Screen quality is good so far and connecting and disconnecting is very easy. Generally satisfied…

I never knew this class of product existed until I saw someone at Starbucks using one and had to ask what it was. Throughout my career I have been a slave to my home computer settings. I'm a creative person and the software I use just doesn't work with a screen. I've never been able to work anywhere other than my office so no travelling, coffee shops or anywhere like many people I know who just need a screen to work. This product makes it so that I can be completely mobile. Even with smaller…

I tried several other portable monitors before settling on the Sidetrak. Others always had the same problems: the monitor itself was heavy and the attachment to the laptop was so complicated that your laptop's screen could not stand upright. But Sidetrak is lightweight and it's just a magnetic mount, whether you want it on the right or left side of your laptop. It also has a built-in stand if you want the monitor to stand on its own. This is honestly one of the best buys I've made for…

Wow. Great light and great resolution. Love it. I thought it would only work with USB c, but my old Mac also needed HDMI. Be sure to stop by again. Luckily I had an HDMI adapter but if not it costs extra money. I still like it, but I only have to use two cables instead of one. This is ideal for travel as well as moving around in coworking spaces and conference rooms. Allows me to be more productive. I recommend getting a cheap laptop bag that will fit the monitor and hold the cables.

I bought this display to work from our RV while we travel by plane. Unpacking revealed a very well packaged product. However, the first connection attempt was disappointing. The display would not turn on when connected to either the Thunderbolt port or the provided USB port. The instructions provided suggested trying a different Thunderbolt cable and my newly purchased cable turned on the display. With my new cable, the display works as advertised. Very cool product - not cool that I had to…

Glue doesn't stick. The side window fell off in the first week and the replacement they sent me did the same. The screen is excellent, the sticking magnetic plate doesn't stick to my computer.

This product does exactly what it advertises. Installation couldn't be easier. The manufacturer provides a tool to perfectly align the placement of the magnet. Otherwise, installation is as simple as attaching it to a magnet and connecting the monitor to a PC. You need to set some display options on your computer and you're good to go. It's ideal for remote workers who need the functionality of a desktop computer with the flexibility of a laptop.

With the slightest twist of my briefcase, the screen revealed a defect in one of the corners after less than a dozen uses. The defect just kept spreading. Today the power cord broke - the USB-C connector snapped off at a 90-degree angle, making the screen defect irrelevant. Attempts to use other USB-C ports provided power but no video input. Beware !

Overall, this portable monitor is great! The screen is actually brighter than on my laptop at max brightness. The size of the monitor is perfect for my Inspiron 13 7378 laptop. I was concerned about compatibility as my laptop doesn't have a Thunderbolt port. Luckily, the two cables I needed to connect it were included. Thus, only a simple plug and play connection was required with no software downloads. It is easy to disassemble and transport. My only (minor) complaint is that it sags a bit on…

This is the basic screen for those who want to add it to their workstation. It's nothing fancy, but it allows me to have a second screen for my MacBook Air M1. I'm still trying to get used to it or even have a second screen as I work without it or get rid of it from my Mac. As for the quality. That's a decent build. I like the fact that it's reversible or can be mounted to the left or right of the monitor. I don't like the fact that it tends to drain the battery faster. But that is, or should…

The monitor is great, but the product was sent without an outer box, just a shipping label. Luckily I was home when it was delivered as it would be very tempting for someone who stopped by and saw it on the porch to pick up an item like this. Otherwise, the item itself is a game changer, but be careful as the screen is as small as a laptop. Still a game changer for efficiency.

Game changer for my work from home. Good screen quality. The kit includes the cables needed for both old and new computers. I have to use both cables, which is cumbersome but doesn't bother me. I love the tilt feature and the fact that it swivels so others can see it as my second display when I have to go to the office. Allows me to work from anywhere. Good quality.
