For all the folks out there who work remotely either full time in a hybrid setup, ask yourself: how often for you does work-from-home literally mean work from home? Like, you can realistically work from anywhere that has a stable internet connection. You can head out to your favorite local coffee shop and work through some spreadsheets or even plan a trip to a resort and get some work done poolside if you wanted to.
I find that even though the possibility is there, I tend to spend 99% of my time working right at my desk in my apartment. At least that used to be the case. The reason being my desk at home has two huge monitors. I feel like I can be ten times as productive when I’m able to spread my work out across multiple screens as opposed to feeling cramped on just my tiny laptop screen.
That’s why if you’re hoping to widen your range of places to get work done, you should consider a portable monitor. Something like this one from InnoView can tremendously improve your productivity when working elsewhere and right now Amazon has it for a staggering 40% off. Normally sold for $100, you can now scoop one up for only $60. That saves you $40 for a limited time.
This portable monitor can extend you laptop screen space to having twice the real estate. It measures across at 15.6 inches and can display in full HD 1080p resolution with support for HDR. It has a built-in adjustable kick stand to keep upright on its own too.
Wide Connection Options
You can power the portable monitor using just the power from your laptop, so you don’t have to worry about being near an outlet to get it working. You can connect your laptop to the screen in one of two ways. If your laptop has a full-function USB-C port, you can connect it over a USB-C cable which will handle both the display as well as power-pass through. If your laptop does not have this port, instead you can plug in with a USB-A cable for power and then with an HDMI cable for display.
The screen is extremely portable. It’s lightweight, only weight a hair over 1.5 lbs., and measures in at only a quarter of an inch thick. The monitor even comes with a soft carrying case to keep it protected while traveling. Slip it into your backpack or messenger bag along with your laptop and you are good to go.
