    Great screen, but overpriced unless you routinely work with very limited table space

    Great screen, but overpriced unless you routinely work with very limited table space
    I've been using the 12.5" SideTrak Swivel for a little over 2 years now.It's a great screen. The size is perfect for me. The brightness and picture quality are excellent.However, the main question that you need to ask yourself is "how important is the magnetic attachment feature?"For me, it's been somewhat handy when I work at small or cramped tables. In particular airplane tray tables (if nobody is in the seat next to me), the tables on Amtrak trains, and a small round patio table that we keep on our balcony. I wouldn't have space to prop up a traditional portable monitor next to my laptop when using these types of tables. Lap usage is also possible but not recommended since it's easy for the weight of the SideTrak to cause my laptop's screen to fall back.However, I work in these positions infrequently enough that it may not have been worth the additional ~$200 that you need to spend on a SideTrak over a different portable monitor.There's also a small weight premium. The SideTrak Swivel 12.5" model seems to weigh roughly .25 to 0.5 lb extra vs. comparably sized traditional portable monitors, which makes sense considering the need for heavy-duty magnets to hold it in place.One other downside: there's no pass-through USB-C charging. So I can't take advantage of the Swivel's DisplayPort support if I want to use the screen while simultaneously charging my laptop. So I have to arrange a mess of cables every time I set it up and take it apart. The SideTrak draws considerable power, so I really need to have my laptop plugged in unless I'm only working briefly.Customer support is overall friendly and helpful, but I did have one somewhat unpleasant CS experience. There was an issue with one of the magnet plates that came with the monitor, and they offered to send me a free replacement. I told them they didn't need to go to the trouble, because I could probably get by with only one of the two plates. Later I did end up needing the second plate and I asked if they could mail it to me after all, but a supervisor told me that was no longer possible since I was out of warranty. I'd need to pay for new plates. The cost was only $15, so it wasn't a big deal, but it did feel a bit like the company took advantage of my kindness to get that $15.In two years my only issues are:- The kickstand broke. No big deal, I never used the kickstand, it only got in the way.- As mentioned, there was an issue with one of the magnet plates. Also not a big deal.- It hasn't retained it's value terribly well. I considered selling mine used, but it looks like used units only go for $50 or so on online marketplaces these days.If you're working frequently at small tables, the SideTrak Swivel is pretty great. If not though, I'd recommend a cheaper portable monitor with a traditional stand.One last pro: it gets lots of attention and comments from people for the cool magnetic attachment mechanism. I enjoyed that, but you may feel otherwise. 😅

    This is something I did not know I NEEDED in my life. Honestly, this is not a want it’s a NEED. My productivity has greatly increased with this portable monitor, and portable it is! It’s now a part of my daily setup. Quick run down.

    Pros: VERY portable
    Easy to setup
    Adjustable (can move to left or right side)
    Efficient
    Cost effective (if you buy used. I got mine for $240 and it did not have any damage at all, everything included in package except mounting guide.

    Cons: A bit pricy for a portable monitor but you’re definitely paying for the technology and portability aspect

    It’s a bit heavy and strains my laptop hinge, not sure of long term repercussions, however I’m sure it’ll be fine

    If you have to plug in both cables, there’s wires everywhere

    Display isn’t as crystal clear as the laptops monitor, not horrible quality but definitely noticeably less than my laptops (however it’s a portable monitor so it’s okay)

    Screen isn’t as bright as I would have hoped for but it’s not bad

    OVERALL: I love it and I couldn’t imagine NOT having a portable second monitor like this with my laptops now.

    I honestly wish I would have had this in my life sooner! 5/5. When setting up PLEASE make sure you have it on perfectly, like a prior review says you’ll have to tilt it a little bit to make sure it’s perfectly aligned.

    If you’re on the fence on the price point like I was, if there are any used ones buy it! Essentially the same as new and almost 30% cheaper or so. I have absolutely no regrets and am a happy customer.

    I look forward to see if this company will create a newer version in the future, as I am going to get it.

    The product functionality, is good and it was easy to install.
    Furthermore, the quality of the image dull and opaque, doesn't give you that nice, clear and bright crisp look an LCD HD image should. When I got it, it had like a white spot on the image too, like if it had already been touched or used and left the damage inside the screen, or maybe factory defect but it didn't bother me too much.
    After using for 3 months, all of a sudden in that same white spot the image inside broke (not the screen physically).. For the $300 plus dollars, this should be like a $50 - $100 range. Pretty disappointed with the quality overall and it breaking down 3 months later I would not recommend this product.

    Overall, I work remote and thought it would help make the 3weeks away from my double-monitor desktop a little easier. Aside from using it at home to get familiar with it first, on the actual trip.. I ended up using it the first and second day, and not a day more.

    I really can, and still do, see the benefits of having this additional screen. The few times I did use it really made an interesting difference in working. However, the few times I did use it showed me that the difference it made was not substantial enough to keep… nor did it add THAT much convenience.

    I did love this look more than the others that take up the entire back of your laptop.

    Screen:
    Nice LED Screen, but was a yellowish hue darker than my ThinkPad. Not that big of a deal but there is an obvious distinction I could not let go of. Also, I didn’t have it open all the time, so the hassle of taking it on and off - let alone keeping up with it - was cumbersome. The magnet is strong, and I’m tinder-handed with certain electronics, so swiveling and moving it around was not an issue.

    Connection:
    There was always a bit of a lag when attempting to move a file or window over to the Sidetrak. As in, I had to drag/force it over to the external screen because it would not smoothly slide over. Sometimes it would glitch which was worrisome. I could not figure out how to make the text bigger on the Sikdetrak either. I work in law, so having to move in close every other minute just to read something seemed unnecessary. The cord is rather cheap too.

    Weight:
    I positioned mine to align with the top of the laptop. My ThinkPad isn’t that heavy (14in I believe, bigger than the 12.5 here), so if it wasn’t sitting up in an exact position (especially when on my lap or mount), then it would dramatically pull my screen backwards in a scary fashion. I feared that if it fell while I wasn’t around, then it would snap my laptop in-half. So I never left it alone. Also, I walk around with my laptop a lot, I couldn’t do that with this. The weight is so one sided that I almost dropped the entire setup a few times when first using it.

    Travel:
    I left it on my laptop, and it packed away into my backpack with no issues. Doesn’t take up much space at all.

    Cool overall, but just not functional for me. I definitely say try it for yourself buuut don’t wait too long to return it. If you’re not using it EVERYDAY, for even a portion of the day, I don’t think it’s worth it.

    I spent a lot of time in meeting rooms and was finding myself constrained by my MacBook Air M1's screen. I read the reviews and the negative ones worried me because of the price. I hummed and hawed but finally decided to give it a try for myself and I'm glad I did. It attaches securely to the metal plate, and I have no concerns that it will fall off. It also stays in place, and so does the MacBook Air's screen. Note I have some flip-out feet on the bottom of the laptop for a better viewing angle and I think this helps shift the center of gravity forward, helping the SideTrak balance better. The resolution is good, a tiny bit fuzzy but nothing that bothers me. The brightness is fantastic and I actually keep it quite low. The only negative is the cord is a bit unwieldy - to be honest, the whole thing is a bit clumsy to pack up and set up, but I don't think that can really be avoided for an after-market accessory so I didn't take away any stars. I just remove the monitor rather than spin it around and close it up - but I think that's because it is so large/thick relative to the MacBook Air. I expect it will do better on a larger/heavier laptop. All that being said, I think it is a well-thought out and designed product and I hope it will last - I'll update this review if it doesn't!

    Works great! Only downside is the resolution isn’t the greatest but that’s not a big deal to me since I just needed a second screen when doing quotes and invoices.

    I have a MacBook 13inch and it was a plug and play…no setup required. Plugged it in and automatically had usage of the second screen

    4 stars because missing a better resolution other than that I would have done 5 star

    Just got this today and I immediately tried to check if it is working. Yep, it does work with my Macbook air as per picture. I know it is pricy but I bought this because it says that this can stand on its own and not sticked to the laptop. It also can stand vertically and horizontally either way you preferred. Giving it a 5 star because I’m happy with the product. I will update once it has problems on how long did it take to have one too. But for now, I’m happy with it.
