Works great right out of the box..
I received the order, unpacked it, plugged it into my XPS 13 right side USB-C port and it powered right up. Few Windows 11 settings changed, “extended desktop & remove the taskbar from the second screen and haven’t looked back since. Hope it lasts as long as the notebook..

Easy set up
The extended screen has been working well for me so far and I have had no issues. It took a short time to get used to as I’ve never had to use a screen like this before but otherwise, it has been a good experience. It was easy to set up and the size is perfect for what I need.

Multiple Cords from Company D0 NOT WORK
Love the concept. Screen is really great. However, none of it matters because the connecting cord does not last and makes the experience frustrating enough that I’m compelled to leave a review.I love concept of only needing one cord and not having to connect to a power strip. Two negative issues occur from this set up:1) my display is constantly shaking/wobbling because I have my laptop (and therefore sidetrack) on a ergo-riser. The extra height makes it bounce bc the SideTrak throws it off balance a bit2) the cords die! I’m on my 3rd cord from the company in under a year. Kudos to them for continually sending me new ones for free (and their customer service is quick and amazing!), but I’d rather not have to request them. The metal part of the usb-c that plugs into the laptop gets loose and renders the whole thing ineffective. I don’t want a workaround. I don’t want to plug into a usb-a or b converter. I want the cord to work and remain healthy so I don’t have to deal with screen flickerings / dancing / resetting / being flat-out blank / etc. Just make it work, please.

Loved it, but returned it.
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 didnât 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 Iâm 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 isnât that heavy (14in I believe, bigger than the 12.5 here), so if it wasnât 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 wasnât 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 couldnât 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. Doesnât take up much space at all.Cool overall, but just not functional for me. I definitely say try it for yourself buuut donât wait too long to return it. If youâre not using it EVERYDAY, for even a portion of the day, I donât think itâs worth it.

Easy to install but not sure if Iâm 100% sold
I have been eyeing the SideTrak swivel portable monitor for my laptop for some time now. I am a full-time student. Most of the time I have multiple windows opened so I knew wanted an additional monitor to be able to see all my windows at the same time. Am I happy with my purchase? Overall, I would say yes. I was a bit nervous to attach the monitor to my laptop, but once I watched the YouTube instructional it was easy to install. So the Pros and Cons.Pros:Provides me with the additional screen I need for school and workRequires only one chord to connect to laptop and Monitor (chord comes included with monitor)Easy to flip open and close when not in useCon:Because itâs installed as an additional piece to my laptop cover, the weight of the monitor will cause my laptop to occasion fall back due to the weight. I have to angle the cover a little forward so it does not topple over or use something to brace the back or the laptop cover so it does not fall over.The brightness of the monitor isnât as bright as my laptop monitor. I might have to play around with the options (possible user error). I will update my review if I am able to resolve the issue.Like I said, overall, Iâm happy I purchased it. Do I use it all the time â not really. But when I need it, it does come in handy.

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 isnât the greatest but thatâs 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 playâ¦no setup required. Plugged it in and automatically had usage of the second screen4 stars because missing a better resolution other than that I would have done 5 star
Xeleenah –
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 Iâm happy with the product. I will update once it has problems on how long did it take to have one too. But for now, Iâm happy with it.

I bought this product 1 day ago and it is already malfunctioning. The screen glitches and then turns off. Doesn’t work, a complete waste of money!!!!!
