CopGain 12 Portable Monitor for Laptop Screen Extender for 13.3 MacBook, Designed for MacBook Screen Extender FHD 1080P IPS Display Plug and Play P1M

I wanted to like this product so much, but I had to return it after giving it a try. I love how sturdy and sleek it was, and the hidden cord was such a good touch. Very well designed with the exception of a few things: the screen is not bright/not the best resolution (especially if youre in the design field) and it is HEAVY. It would make my laptop screen flop back and it wasnt feasible to keep this attached at all times.

It’s great option for individuals who need an extra screen to work on when using a MacBook. The monitor is lightweight and portable, which makes it easy to take with you wherever you go. I perfer one extra scrren just for my own preference. Fit me MacBook 13, which is good enough to allow for easy multitasking, but small enough to fit comfortably in a backpack or laptop bag. Very slim and lightweight.

The biggest single point of failure on a laptop it is the hinges. I am concerned that this 5 pound monstrosity is going to put undue stress on those hinges and I’m gonna pay for it very heavily in the long run. I don’t know for sure but I do know that I have a handful of portable monitors that way under a pound, none of them are that fantastic and none of them connect to the laptop lid directly. I certainly love the idea and the convenience but I think the implementation here is just a little bit clunky. The monitor itself is smaller than your usual portable monitor and it doesn’t have near the resolution of the native MacBook screen nor the clarity so are you if you’re a person that needs everything to match this is not going to be the unit for you. That being said I got a decent usable picture out of it and I cannot say that for every portable monitor I’ve tried. Your mileage may vary but you’re going to have a larger set of icons off to the right. And you can only use this on the right side. This is not ambidextrous flip out. So that’s another thing to consider. Do you have the option to leave this permanently attached to your MacBook but you’re going to more than double the thickness so it’s another thing to think about. And the wait. I’m still trying to figure out why this thing is as heavy as it is. I still really love the idea and I think going forward future iterations of this product may get streamlined. And it does have a decent build quality to it. But if this thing ends up damaging the lid of my MacBook I’m going to come back here and give it a single star. I still have to check with the Apple people and make sure that this doesn’t somehow void the warranty by putting undue stress on the cover.

So other than the weight it adds this thing is amazing! It truly is plug and play! No longe be tied down to a desk to have dual monitors! This is a must have!

The CopGain is a beautiful piece of equipment. It was delivered in a lovely box with good protection. Yet, even the box it was in looked high-speed and sleek. I was even impressed with how the CopGain was arranged in its box. Everything was laid out elegantly and logically. Even the included instructions are explicit, well righten, and have some handy graphics. Before trying to install CopGain, I suggest you read the instructions carefully. You are given a couple of options as to how to proceed. Also, while not incredibly complicated, you want to install the CopGain correctly to get the most out of it. Now once installed... It is just a beauty to behold; having that extra-screen real estate available at the flick of a panel is so addictive. The way it is integrated into your MacBooks frame makes it feel like it was included in the design from the start. However, you do need to be aware of two issues with the CopGain. First, be mindful that the CopGain is only 1080p or just HD resolution. If you are doing any kind of graphics-intensive work, looking from the resolution of the MacBook screen to the CopGain and back again can be a little disorienting until you get used to it. The other thing you want to be mindful of is that the CapGain does use a precious USB-C port. It is worth their compromises, but you dont want to be surprised by them.

Such a great secondary screen but only designed for Mac. It works on my windows laptop as well but won’t attach to the back of the screen.

Very slim and handsome looking external monitor for MacBook. It’s a single screen external monitor but good enough for what I need. Will recommend it for Macbook users.

Crispy clear display quality, 1080P display resolution. Very slim, love the way it attached to my MacBook screen. No massy cables, the USB C cable attached to the monitor. Will recommend it to all MacBook users.

This is a great extension for screen space on a macbook. It is plug and play, portable and looks great. screen clarity and brightness is fantastic with the colors looks sharp and vivid. It is easy enough to mount on the back of the built in screen and great for on the go extra screen space.

It was super easy to set up - just plug in the USB-C, and it worked immediately. The FHD 1080P IPS Display is incredibly clear and sharp, and the colors are very vibrant. I love the slim and lightweight design, which makes it so easy to take with me wherever I go. Its great for working remotely, and Im so glad I decided to purchase this monitor. Highly recommend!
