Greater than one weekThe screens fit on both my personal (MAC) and my work laptop (HP). It is sturdy but not too heavy. This monitor is easy to set up and tear down while working from home. It is easy to fold down and store in your bag with your laptop. It makes it much easier to multitask when traveling. I purchased this to work remotely abroad and it was exactly what I needed! It give me 3 screens for my laptop. Very easy to use and amazing quality.

> 3 dayThis is an amazing product! Especially for someone like me who works from home. Its very convenient for me, both screens are very clear. Setting up is also relatively easy even for someone who is not tech savey. Its a great technology. The seller paid a lot of attention on packing products, each single cord is in an independent package. It can be seen that the seller cares about its product and customer. Very detailed and clear instructions.

Greater than one weekShort version: this does work on macOS over a single cable, it uses Silicon Motions Instant View (its basically display output over USB, and is similar to DisplayLink) so it does need a driver for it to work. I was able to test this with a 2016 Macbook Pro 15 and a 2016 Dell XPS 13; this thing is too large for 13in laptops, but 14in should be okay. It includes a microSD card reader that out of the box comes with a small microSD card that contains the Instant View drivers. The display themselves are okay for 1080p60hz, just keep in mind the angles I have in the picture is as far as they will go towards the keyboard. I wouldnt call this thing portable however, it takes some time to deploy and honestly just get a larger (16in 4k) portable monitor and save yourself some money while youre at it Long version: I got this since I was expecting to be more on-the-go for work, and I always need extra screen space. I was aware that it would use Silicon Motions Instant View for macOS compatibility over a single cable (macOS doesnt support Displayport MST, which means that it needs software solutions to support 2 displays over a single cable; in this case, Instant View is a competing implementation similar to how DisplayLink works, which is display output over USB). The build quality is good. The whole thing comes with a faux leather wrap, and the plastic itself despite feeling a bit light, doesnt feel too flimsy with a pretty durable ratchet to adjust width. This thing is too big for a 13in laptop like the 2016 Dell XPS 13 I tested this with, but for 14in laptops and larger it should have no problems; the 2016 15in Macbook Pro has no problems. Theres a small stand that leans on the back because otherwise any laptop (except something like a super heavy mobile workstation/gaming laptop) would tip over from the weight. The viewing angles actually work okay, but doesnt lean together towards the keyboard too much. In terms of practical use, it aint good. Its very cumbersome to deploy, and youre only getting 2 small 1080p displays. In comparison, you can just get a 15in or 16in portable monitor and just have an easier time; this is actually what I was using before (I have a 16in 16:10 4k portable monitor), and in fact it is far more easier to use and is far more portable than this thing. Maybe say if youre always going to different places but sit at a single spot in the place for an extended period of time, maybe this will work, because setting it up and then packing it up is quite the task. It does come with 2 USB-C to USB-C (one end is 90-degree angled) cable, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a 5V3A charger; this is for if youre connecting to a laptop over the USB-A cable, or if the USB-C port on the host laptop doesnt provide enough power for the 2 displays. Because this uses Instant View, it doesnt count towards a GPUs supported number of displays count. So say if youre connecting this to a M1 Macbook Air thats normally limited to a single display output, you can use this, and then still have that 1 display output for something else. This also means that for Macbooks with dGPUs, because the display output is over USB instead of DisplayPort, it doesnt activate the dGPU (which might have some power savings advantages despite having to run the Instant View drivers) The price of this is quite an issue. At the time of this review, its $600 with a $100 discount. A 16in 4k monitor can be had for around $200 to $250; you can get 2 of those for the price of this thing. Its not very easy to pack/unpack, its quite heavy, the size is awkward to carry around in a backpack (its very square). However by using Instant View, you can use this in macOS with a single cable. If I remember these dual-monitor laptop things are subject to some lawsuits on the original manufacturer that created the design, so to some extent I also doubt the legitimacy of this product. At the end of the day, it has its flaws, but it does work. Just keep in mind of your use case, a portable monitor is probably 99% of the time a superior solution and a better use for your money.

> 3 dayIve been using the Maxfree T2 Triple Portable Monitor for Laptop for only a short while, but Im already really impressed with it. Its a great way to add two extra screens to your laptop, and its much more convenient than buying a second (or third) monitor. The build quality of the Maxfree T2 is excellent. Its made of sturdy materials and feels very well-made. The screens are also very sharp and clear, and they have a wide viewing angle. One of the things I like most about the Maxfree T2 is how easy it is to use. It only requires one cable to connect to your laptop. Installing the software for the monitor extender is super easy and only takes a few seconds. After installing the correct driver (just choose the one for your operating system), youre good to go. The Maxfree T2 is also very lightweight, so its easy to carry around with you. I anticipate taking it with me often when I travel, so I can have extra screens to work on while Im on the road. Overall, Im really happy with the Maxfree T2. Its a great way to add two extra screens to your laptop, and its a good value (if you consider the convenience and ease of use it provides.) I highly recommend it. Here are some other things I like about the Maxfree T2: It has a built-in stand, so you dont need to buy a separate one. It comes with a carrying case, so you can easily take it with you wherever you go. If youre looking for a great way to add extra screen real estate to your laptop, I highly recommend the Maxfree T2 for your laptop. Its a great value for the price, and its sure to make your life easier.

Greater than one weekSetup and connection is very easy and straightforward. They worked right out of the box, and use only one cord. I didn’t even bother reading the instructions, and everything works fine. They are adjustable like any external monitor: brightness, contrast, color, etc.. Personally, I would like them to get a little brighter and provide a bit more contrast than they do, but that’s probably a compromise of the single cord functionality. They do not draw power from anything other than the laptop to which they are connected a USB - C in my application. My old eyes can always use more brightness and contrast from a monitor. Anyone younger than 40 probably won’t have any complaints. They’re a bit pricey, but if you need portability with quick and easy connections, this works well. Unit folds on itself, and stores just like a laptop would - same size/ dimensions.

> 3 dayThis dual monitor add on for laptops is REALLY cool. So far, the only complaint I have is about the weight of the item, but I understand this is mostly due to the battery. I had no troubles hanging it on the back of my precision laptop - Im incredibly thankful that it has a kickstand to keep the monitor up from the extra weight. The battery lasts for a good amount of time - gets even better if the brightness is lowered a bit.

> 3 dayThis thing is awesome!! I installed it and since I had a true usb-c port the pc powered it just fine. The drivers even automatically installed when I turned the pc on. The resolution is great and the screens are way beyond anything I could have imagined. I love it. There is, however, one caveat. It appears they put so much effort into designing the most awesome monitor attachment ever made, then just went totally generic on the stand that helps hold the monitor up. I mean seriously you just pull it out and spin it a little to lock it. In my first 5 minutes of using it I had to reposition the kickstand twice. I finally used a piece of tape to hold the little flap that keeps it from retracting in place so that I could get my work done. The designed such an awesome piece then crapped out on one of the most important aspects to an item of this nature.

> 3 dayThis almost fit my 17” laptop. But fits my daughter’s MacBook Pro perfectly. It’s exceptionally well made and comes with all the cables you might need. Great picture quality, and has capabilities of changing brightness and other screen features. Very portable with a nice protective sleeve.
