Portable screen. Didn't know that such exists, till about few weeks ago. Have a small apartment and sometimes have to work at the dining table. Using a big screen is not an option.

Portable screen is light, size of the laptop and charges/sends data through one cable. Perfect!

Another possibility: if you own a mac, almost any ipad manufactured in last 6-7 years can act as an external screen.

Another possibility: if you own any computer and any tablet, they can act as an external screen. That has been around for years before apple sherlocked it.

I do have an Android tablet mostly sitting and a Linux laptop (running KDE) can I do it in a really seemless way?

[butt____hugger]

Only through apps that work as RDP/remote desktop. You can't use native X/wayland screens with Android unless you root it.

will check it out

I use Deskreen with Windows, it has a Linux version that probably works similarly. I think it leverages browser streaming tech.

Easiest way to get it working is with a dummy plug (because it just casts displays, it can't create one), but maybe there's more options on Linux to fake a display in software.

Another possibility. Get a Quest Pro VR headset.

There are apps like Duet and a number of others for Win use as well.

[wahnfrieden]

My friend has one that mounts to the back of a laptop and slides out to become a second monitor. Probably useful if you need portability but also dual monitors.

I've just bought a 16 inch high-ish res (QHD) one.

I don't do dedicated co-working spaces, but when desk-space and etiquette allow, I use it as a replacement for my 14inch FHD work laptop screen, rather than a second screen. I use it with a portable keyboard and mouse and just stand it on the folded laptop.

When I'm in a normal cafe or pub I just use the small laptop and mouse, no external keyboard or monitor.

I've been looking at these. Any time I meet the team at a rented office space I really miss my dual monitor setup.

[red-iron-pine]

That's why I don't see the team in person much, tbh

[chandureddyvari]

Wow. Nice! Didn't know this exists. Planning to get one. Do you have any recommendations?

I got ASUS ZenScreen MB16AH.

Choosing one it's a bit confusing, Asus offers many models, and hard to understand the difference. There are some which have separate display port and power. Different covers. With a battery etc. I really wanted just one having only one cable.

On Amazon there are some other less/not known brands, offering bigger screens, but I felt more convinced by the mainstream brand.

Remember that your laptop has to support this. I tested it with an older MacBook Pro, and Lenovo ThinkPad. On my old Ideapad I don't have such port.

Not OP, but I've been using the Asus ZenScreen and been happy with it.

Right now I'm at a co-working space and I have: - My MacBook on a stand to the left - My Asus ZenScreen to the right - The monitor the coworking space provides at some desks (If you get there in time before it's taken, lol) in the middle

Pretty great setup to know I'll have 3 screens and barely need to pack anything when I come in.
