    Great screen, but overpriced unless you routinely work with very limited table space

    Great screen, but overpriced unless you routinely work with very limited table space
    I've been using the 12.5" SideTrak Swivel for a little over 2 years now.It's a great screen. The size is perfect for me. The brightness and picture quality are excellent.However, the main question that you need to ask yourself is "how important is the magnetic attachment feature?"For me, it's been somewhat handy when I work at small or cramped tables. In particular airplane tray tables (if nobody is in the seat next to me), the tables on Amtrak trains, and a small round patio table that we keep on our balcony. I wouldn't have space to prop up a traditional portable monitor next to my laptop when using these types of tables. Lap usage is also possible but not recommended since it's easy for the weight of the SideTrak to cause my laptop's screen to fall back.However, I work in these positions infrequently enough that it may not have been worth the additional ~$200 that you need to spend on a SideTrak over a different portable monitor.There's also a small weight premium. The SideTrak Swivel 12.5" model seems to weigh roughly .25 to 0.5 lb extra vs. comparably sized traditional portable monitors, which makes sense considering the need for heavy-duty magnets to hold it in place.One other downside: there's no pass-through USB-C charging. So I can't take advantage of the Swivel's DisplayPort support if I want to use the screen while simultaneously charging my laptop. So I have to arrange a mess of cables every time I set it up and take it apart. The SideTrak draws considerable power, so I really need to have my laptop plugged in unless I'm only working briefly.Customer support is overall friendly and helpful, but I did have one somewhat unpleasant CS experience. There was an issue with one of the magnet plates that came with the monitor, and they offered to send me a free replacement. I told them they didn't need to go to the trouble, because I could probably get by with only one of the two plates. Later I did end up needing the second plate and I asked if they could mail it to me after all, but a supervisor told me that was no longer possible since I was out of warranty. I'd need to pay for new plates. The cost was only $15, so it wasn't a big deal, but it did feel a bit like the company took advantage of my kindness to get that $15.In two years my only issues are:- The kickstand broke. No big deal, I never used the kickstand, it only got in the way.- As mentioned, there was an issue with one of the magnet plates. Also not a big deal.- It hasn't retained it's value terribly well. I considered selling mine used, but it looks like used units only go for $50 or so on online marketplaces these days.If you're working frequently at small tables, the SideTrak Swivel is pretty great. If not though, I'd recommend a cheaper portable monitor with a traditional stand.One last pro: it gets lots of attention and comments from people for the cool magnetic attachment mechanism. I enjoyed that, but you may feel otherwise. 😅

    Works great! Only downside is the resolution isn’t the greatest but that’s 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 play…no setup required. Plugged it in and automatically had usage of the second screen

    4 stars because missing a better resolution other than that I would have done 5 star

    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 I’m happy with the product. I will update once it has problems on how long did it take to have one too. But for now, I’m happy with it.
