Environment for working is something I research before traveling (making sure there's ethernet in the hotel room or finding a spot beforehand where I can take scheduled calls).

I guess I'm really more concerned about the screen setup. Are there any foldable or portable monitors (~13") that work well when traveling?

Anyone ever tried using an Android tablet as a second screen for desktop?

Added: The personal router is a good idea, but usually just tether my Android to my MacBook if I need to supply my own data.

Whenever I need a second screen, I use an iPad connected to my laptop using Avatron's Air Display software. It works well for my needs.

I was hoping not to invest in an iPad (considering the price and way over qualified) just to use as a second monitor on-the-go. I'll look into an Android tablet while using a similar application since you've had luck working off a tablet as a 2nd screen.

Being able to hang a tablet off of your laptop's screen (like the way that kickstarter project mentioned by someone else does) would be nice. By the way, my laptop bag has a convenient pouch for a tablet.
