Full Version: laptop extenders?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
For work purposes, I've been looking into extra monitors to connect to my laptop.  This led me to a category called "laptop extenders."  I think there are multiple products on the market.

Here is one:   SideTrak Swivel Portable Monitor 12.5" | Portable Monitor | SideTrak

I am wondering whether this might be a nice solution to my quest for a setup where I can use Mobile Sheets to display 2 pages in a truly readable form.  Currently, I use MS on a Surface Pro, which is great for portrait view but a bit too small for me to see 2 pages at a time.

Anyone have an opinion about these kinds of extenders (in terms of how they would work with MS)?
I can't say anything about the extenders, but have you considered a second tablet (doesn't need to be a second surface, a cheaper tablet that's big enough for you will do) in book mode?

Not recently.  I've been assuming that a second tablet - of an appropriate size - would be more expensive than a second screen, like one of the extenders.  Also for me, I might have a work need for an extender anyway.
For the same money, you can get a 14.1” android tablet recently recommended in another thread and just run Spacedesk app to use as a screen extender or run full blown Mobile Sheets app. Bonus is SpaceDesk works wired or wireless.
