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 (guilty!), that extra screen makes a huge difference. 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 this gizmo is only $65, down from $110.
The latest smartwatch from the Cupertino company features a larger display while somehow being thinner and lighter, advanced health and fitness features and a faster-charging battery.
Said one five-star reviewer, "The battery life is phenomenal, I can literally go 2 days without charging. When I do have to charge it, it’s full in about 30 [minutes]."
Apple's AirTag is one of the most powerful trackers you can get as an iPhone user. Simply connect it to your phone and use it to keep track of what matters — luggage, a purse, an expensive bike. You can also activate Lost Mode, which makes it play a loud sound. Grab this four-pack to put one in each family member's suitcase the next time you travel.
"I recently purchased an Apple AirTag, and I have to say, it's a game-changer for someone like me who tends to misplace things," said one user. "Setting it up was a breeze — just a few taps on my iPhone, and it was ready to go. The precision finding feature is fantastic; it leads you right to your lost item with directions and haptic feedback, which feels like magic. I've attached one to my keychain and slipped another into my backpack, and so far, they've saved me a ton of time and frustration."
Never fight with your family over outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices all at once. Oh, and it's much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor.

Should your power go out, it'll be able to juice up multiple appliances, and it also functions as a speaker and projector! Whether you bring it camping or use it at home, it should still be kickin' in about a decade.

Ready for some Apple picking? Yes, we realize it's not fall, but you'll want to pluck this bad boy from the ol' Amazon tree and add it to your cart because it's currently down to its all-time lowest price — and this is the most recent version of this model!
As the unofficial Goldilocks of tech (less bulky than a laptop but larger than a smartphone), this tablet keeps you connected on the go or at home, and you can use it for everything from reading books to taking notes to watching videos.
Our tech editor named this the "best tablet for 2024" owing to its "under-the-hood improvements, including a faster processor, more RAM (4GB instead of 3GB), Bluetooth 5.0 (up from 4.2) and a USB-C charging port."

This model, powered by Apple's ultra-fast M3 chip, was released just last year, so I'm surprised to find it on sale — especially at a $219 discount. It's only dipped lower than this once (over the holidays), and seeing as it's also one of the thinnest and lightest laptops you'll find, can you really go wrong?
Have a Wi-Fi "dead zone" in your house? This Wi-Fi extender boosts network signal strength. Plug it into a wall outlet where Wi-Fi strength is low, connect it to your network and presto: instant signal boost. This extender also has an Ethernet port, meaning you can plug in devices that might benefit from a wired connection: Blu-ray player, game console, etc.
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 ever seen. It's also a bargain compared to other portable monitors that start at $130 and go up from there.
The Arzopa is a compact, travel-friendly screen that's easy to set up with its built-in kickstand. With 1080p resolution (that's high-def!) and a 178-degree viewing angle, it'll make sure 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 over 8,000 five-star reviews, it's safe to say the Arzopa Portable Monitor is a tried-and-true buy.
"After buying this monitor in April and using it heavily — like, for five-plus hours every single day, carrying it with me everywhere from home to school to work — the monitor still works fantastic," 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 his Nintendo Switch. "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."
Finally, if you want a high-quality USB-C cable, 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, recommending one that's "a little thicker and less likely to be jostled."
