I have been wanting to get something like this for a while now (the kickstarter for Slidenjoy, etc.), but with the price point so high, I have traveled with two laptops quite a bit. It is good to hear that the prices of these are dropping! If I don't win the raffle, I'll definitely look into these again! Going from multiple screens down to 1 screen when traveling definitely feels cramped especially when I try to keep one screen dedicated to monitoring my T1D blood sugar levels! Thanks for this raffle!

These sorts of folding external monitors (there are several "brands" selling what appear to be the same panels) are something I've toyed around with getting, but haven't yet. It seems cumbersome for everyday use, but I could see them being useful when you're called in to work on something on a weekend when you're away from your main setup.

@duartelucas8129 Жыл бұрын

It just takes like a minute to setup.

@ekhodykin Жыл бұрын

If you will connect your iPad via a cable there will be no disconnecting issues (just don't forget to answer that you trust your Mac when it asks it on the first connection). Sidecar is a great feature, the only downside is perhaps Sidecar's system requirements could be a bit lower - you'll need a modern Mac and a modern iPad for it work. It would have been nice if the older iPads were compatible as well, they have great screens, and this feature could have given a second life to them.

I use my iPad pro 12.9inch as a second display with sidecar. I use a cable instead of wireless because it disconnects on wireless. It didn't disconnect until I installed Monterey. I'd love to a have a multi-monitor setup for when I do dev work on the go. Using the iPad wired drains my laptop battery to charge the iPad.

Sidecar with iPad disconnects when streaming videos on it due to some copyright issue playing media on a secondary device. It also freezes when a RAM intensive app window is displayed on the iPad. My guess is bluetooth's limited bandwidth can't handle the data transfers. Other than these 2 limitations, the iPad makes a really good companion for a MacBook on the go.
