Love my SideTrak!!
I purchased to use with both my work and personal laptop. I love that I can swap between them without having to own 2 of them. It gives me the productivity I need no matter the location or need. Working late but can't stand sitting in your home office any more...move to the couch and coffee table and still have access to 2 monitors! Gaming and need to look something up....

worked great...until screen cracked
I loved my sidetrack. I work with alot of colleagues around the world and got quite a few people to buy it just by people asking me about at meetings. Then, my screen cracked and my monitor is less than a year old. I had the screen in my laptop bag with my laptop so both were both protected but apparently even the cord being in there could damage the screen (said the re...

Great concept, horrible design. HORRIBLE
I was so excited for this product and while I was prepared for the dimness of the screen, I was not prepared for it to constantly fall off the back of the computer. I am at the point of having to put rubber bands around it and the screen of my laptop to ensure it stays in place because it has fallen off so many times. Still working, although I am already having trouble ...

Clunky apparatus; screen is not bright
The idea is awesome but the execution needs some work.

At last, I can work efficiently while travelling!
I have been looking for a good, portable second monitor for months - and I have finally found the perfect one! It is easy to use, super portable, reasonably priced, and of excellent quality! I recommend this HIGHLY to anyone who struggles with only one screen on a laptop. It is time consuming to minimize and maximize multiple documents when you only have one screen - th...

I love it... BUT...
I love my SLIDE HD! I used it daily as a teacher, in a school where external monitors are rare. My only complaint so far, is that the tiny screws are starting to fall out. I've been sliding my screen out multiple times a weekday since Sept. 1st 2022 and today the second screw fell out. The good news is that they tend to be stuck to the magnet and not lost in space. I'm ...

Worth it
Satisfied with this product. Guaranteed improved productively from anywhere! I have two remote jobs so I was glad to see it came with two sets of magnets (so I am actually able to use it on both of my laptops [13" & 16" macbook.]) Easy to set up, install was a breeze. I bought a clear case to go on my laptops so the magnets are stuck to the case instead of the laptop. T...

Work From Home Setup
I was looking for a screen that would allow my work from home setup to remain the same no matter where i work from. This screen is exactly what i needed and it was simple to assemble, I had it mounted and connected within a min. The screen is light but sometimes will disconnect from my laptop if i'm not careful when i pick it up.

Just okay, has some flaws to work out.
The screen is very easy to attach and get working, but I have struggled with every time my computer goes to sleep and I wake it up, the slide out screen does not refresh, and I have to completely restart my computer to get the screens working right again. It also often frequently seems to disconnect, flickering on and off, even when nothing is being moved whatsoever. I'...

Nice to have in a pinch
It's necessary to have 2 screens for my profession so this is nice to have when I'm not at my desk. Only complaint is it seems to lose connection a good bit. It will reconnect in a few seconds but I have to move things back to that screen that screen where I need them. So can be a little frustrating at times. A fix for that would be nice. Also where it pulls out to the ...

connection seems bad
I like having two monitors when traveling, but the SideTrak blinks off and on when connected.
I wish I had ordered the swivel one as well...
thanks

Worthwhile purchase
Great product. Although it does add just a bit more weight when traveling, the benefit of an additional screen is worth it.

Monitor
Great idea, it does add extra weight to your laptop so portability is decreased but having an extra monitor handy is nice. It took a while for the laptop to connect but once it did worked well. It does hinder the laptop's ability to open, more if it is the same size or bigger than computer it is mounted on.

Good buy for the Pandemic but would not buy otherwise.
Summary:
Overall, the screen works well. It was easy to set up and I am glad I bought it because it fills a gap I have while working from home. However, if it was not for the pandemic, I would have not been happy with my purchase. I would have liked this product to be lighter, slimmer, and sturdier with better finishing.
PROS:
First - Does it do what it is advertised...
