Nice added monitor

I really like the monitor addition for my laptop. Was real easy to set up. Not real happy the way it fastens to the laptop, think I will either order the stand or make one myself. Overall well worth the money.
Kickstand is a well designed item, but tearing rubber part in a second trial. I received a defective Trio Max and wanted to replacement, but it took more than two weeks to receive the replacement.
Magnets + Electronics=easily damaged laptop; also it wasn't secure

I bought 2 of these for a triple screen. Bad idea. The magnet problem is two-fold. First, the magnets damaged my new laptop of a few thousand $ and it never recovered even months after I let these devices touch it. I'm still seeing errors that weren't present prior. Second, the magnet method is not a secure one. They need to drop the magnets entirely. The screen size was great compared to the alternatives I saw, but the execution made it completely impractical. Don't let the relatively high overall review number fool you like it fooled me. I didn't feel right about reselling these because I didn't want to sabotage someone else's laptop and didn't want to return them because the value from the credit card bonus exceeded the purchase price (& I would have lost the bonus if I returned them), so I put these in the dumpster where they belong.
I LOVE having the triple screens when I’m mobile. Especially using QuickBooks in multi screen mode and having to have spreadsheet or PDF’s opened at the same time. But it made my light as feather computer feels like I’m walking around with my desktop. Wish there was some way to make it lighter for mobility.
The good: great screens, great cable management, weight, love the magnetic attachment vs the competition, appearance and 3 way viewing for conferences.
The bad: flimsy connector between the 2 screens, no way to charge my computer once the two power/data cables are attached. Once the screens slide out the bracket is not sturdy enough to hold their weight so you need to rest them on the table.
In this new, remote-work world, these portable monitors are life-changing. They work well and don't seem to drain my laptop's battery too much when going unplugged. There was a problem with using the magnets to attach it to the back of my laptop screen, but the Mobile Pixels Help resolved that lickety-split.
Monitor set-up is easy, and resolution and functionality is great. As far as constructive feedback goes, the triple monitors can tilt a bit to the side once mounted on the laptop even though they are clipped together on top and bottom as I thought it would be a more solid configuration. However, they still function great.
