Yes, Virginia, there is a low-hassle way to take a second screen while you're on the go. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Dual-monitor setups have spoiled us, and it's easy to see why — a second screen can practically double your productivity. Whether you're editing photos or videos, analyzing multiple spreadsheets or writing about tech deals all day long, that extra screen makes a huge difference in getting every detail right. But when you're on the go, it's not always possible to keep that second display — unless your sidekick is something like the Arzopa Portable Monitor. Now, you never have to sacrifice convenience, no matter where you are, and thanks to Amazon's Lightning Deal, this gizmo is over 40% off at the moment.
If you don't like that feeling of having something wedged in your ear and don't need active noise cancellation, these buds are the way to go. How are they different from the previous generation? The shorter stem gives them a cleaner look, and the new quick-press controls mean no more fumbling to pause your tunes or take a call. Plus, they fit better and stay put, so you won't have to keep adjusting them while you're at the gym or running to catch the train.
Looking for a bit more out of your AirPods (like active noise cancellation and transparency mode)? The AirPods Pro 2 are also on sale right now, for just $169 (down from $250).
We don't need to tell you that it's waaay past time to get rid of your cable TV subscription, do we? This will give you instant access to more than 1.5 million movies and TV shows, all for less than the cost of a couple of movie tickets.
You don't realize how much time you spend switching between windows until you don't have to anymore. This monitor lets you keep everything visible, and at $65, it's at one of the lowest prices we've seen. It's a bargain compared to other portable monitors that start at $130 and go up from there.
The Arzopa portable monitor is a compact, travel-friendly screen that's easy to set up with its built-in kickstand. With 1080p resolution and a 178-degree viewing angle, it means you're getting clear visuals from just about any position. Plus, you can choose between multiple display modes — duplicate, extend, or second-screen — to suit your setup. And at just under 1.5 pounds and only 0.35 inches thick, this monitor won't weigh you down.
And no worries about scratches, either. The Arzopa comes with a leather smart cover to protect the screen when it's tucked away. Slip it into your bag next to your laptop and you're all set. Whether you're expanding your workspace or giving your Nintendo Switch a bigger screen without the dock, this portable monitor has you covered, in both landscape and portrait modes.
With nearly 8,500 five-star reviews, it's safe to say the Arzopa is a tried-and-true buy.
"After buying this monitor... and using it heavily — like, for 5-plus hours every single day, carrying it with me everywhere from home to school to work — the monitor still works fantastically," said one reviewer, adding, "It actually outlived the laptop I bought to use it with."
Another fan praised the easy setup. "I needed a second screen while traveling for work, and this 15.6-inch monitor does the job well. It's super lightweight, easy to carry and the setup is literally plug-and-play with my MacBook Pro — no fuss with drivers or additional software."
This buyer highlighted how well it works with their gaming system. "I have a Nintendo Switch and I thought about purchasing a 24-inch television, but I travel a lot and I needed something more portable, then I saw this," he shared. "I plugged my Switch in with the included USB-C to USB-C cable and it worked!"
One user pointed out that while the Arzopa has built-in speakers, the audio quality isn't the best: "The built-in speakers are decent for casual use, though I wouldn't recommend them for immersive audio experiences."
If you want a high-quality USB-C cable to use, you may have to order one: "My only recommendation is to buy a better high-end USB-C to USB-C cable if you plan to use this monitor extensively," advised this reviewer, adding to look for one "a little thicker and less likely to be jostled."
