Amazon Is Practically Giving Away Ultra-Slim Portable Monitor to Clear Out Best-Seller Shelves This Prime Day
Working remotely doesn't require you to stay confined to your home. You can actually work from anywhere you wish so long as it has an internet connection. Personally, I tend not to venture out often. I just don't feel as efficient outside my usual home setup. I've created a solid workspace at my desk, complete with three large monitors that spread out my work as much as I would like to. When limited to just my laptop screen, I feel so restricted. At least, that used to be the case before I got myself a portable monitor. This 15.6-inch one from Arzopa is a magnificent choice and right now its price has been reduced for Prime Day. Normally listed at $105, for the time being it's discounted by 40%. That'll keep a cool $41 in your wallet as you pay only $64 for the monitor. Any traveling worker or person who just liked to get work done with a change of scenery every once in awhile will find a new best friend in this portable monitor. The Arzopa laptop monitor has a 15.6-inch display size, but manages to stay ultra thin. You'll hardly notice it on your person while already traveling with your laptop. But once you're working with it, boy will you notice it as you've now practically doubled you workable space and productivity. See at Amazon Using the portable monitor is easy. All you need to do is plug and play. It connects to your laptop over either Mini HDMI or via USB-C. Just once USB-C cable can be used for both power delivery and video signal, displaying in full HD 1080p. In addition to these ports on the side of the portable monitor, you'll find a power button, volume adjustment, brightness adjustment, as well as an OSD menu button to access even more settings for further customization. And yes, volume control does indeed mean this thing has built-in speakers. The Arzopa portable monitor has a wide range of compatibility. Not only can you connect a laptop to gain a second screen, you can connect a variety of gaming consoles such as the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, or Nintendo Switch 2—really any console that uses HDMI.

For just $359, one can add almost 6 pounds of weight to their laptop – but you'll be multitasking like a pro
There's a company called Jsaux and if you give it $359 for its latest Kickstarter offering, it will add 5.7 pounds of weight to your laptop. There's more to that, though! The thing Jsaux is offering is a dual-screen portable monitor accessory called FlipGo Horizon. As the description hints, it's an accessory that allows you to attach two extra screens to your laptop, making it a triple-display bonanza of a workstation. One monitor goes on the left, one goes on the right, and these can be used in portrait or landscape orientation – pretty cool, if you ask me. The FlipGo Horizon accessory fits all 13-inch to 16-inch laptops out there, its creators say. While it's expected to retail for $459 and up when it officially launches, early backers can reserve one starting at $359. Shipments for Kickstarter backers are scheduled to begin in September 2025. Image by Jsaux At its core, the FlipGo Horizon features two 15.6-inch displays, each with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and brightness rated at 300 nits. Both screens include two USB-C ports and one mini HDMI port, and each panel measures about 14.1 by 8.4 inches and is half an inch thick, weighing 1.8 pounds. A central stand supports both screens and adds another 2.1 pounds, bringing the full system weight to roughly 5.7 pounds – way heavier than most laptops these days. The included stand plays a crucial role by holding the displays beside your laptop without putting any pressure on your laptop's hinge. The monitors don't include sensors to auto-rotate, so any orientation changes must be done manually through your computer's base model comes with a simple magnetic "snap stand", while the upgraded Pro version – priced at $499 (or $399 for Kickstarter backers) – offers more advanced features. The Pro's stand doubles as a USB dock, adding three USB-A ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and two USB-C PD ports alongside the screen connections. While the FlipGo Horizon isn't the first product to offer a multi-screen laptop experience, its design sets it apart. Unlike the 2023 Xebec Snap, which attaches directly to your laptop's lid, the FlipGo stand keeps the screens independent of your device, reducing the risk of tipping or hinge damage. This also allows it to function as a standalone dual-display setup for devices like gaming consoles. An included SnapMag Module adds flexibility, letting users attach accessories like cameras or smartphones directly to the display system.
