connecting to the TV takes about two seconds though and you only carry a HDMI cable with you, and no need for a USB hub, and no need for a multigang socket because only the laptop gets plugged to the wall. Even on the go i wouldn't use that system, it's way too inconvenient. Ergonomics are also terrible. When you angle the main screen for a comfortable view, it tilts the other ones at weird angles. It only looks good in packaging photos. If they used those two panels with a single stand that allows you to twist and turn each screen individually it would be much better.

I can think of a couple of niche use cases for that triple laptop display. There are some instances where people need a semi-portable multi-monitor setup. One example I can think of is a construction project manager where you work out of a temporary office that needs to be moved every few weeks/months or so. The more portable your setup is, the better.

Finally some one is reviewing those clip on displays. I remember when LTT saw these at some conference and people were excited, but no one ever seemed to do a review when they came out. I've been waiting like a decade for a review of one of these. I guess everyone was thinking it was a stupid thing to review after the hype died down and it finally came out. Addendum: I didn't know LTT did a review of the things. Guess I'll have to go check it out.

Watching this after episode 2. You definitely need to make this a reoccurring series.

Of course, keep in mind Dawid, that if you max out the ports on the hub, you will reach a case where each port will not be able to draw 5V needed for correct USB port operation. I think that this type of hub may work with the small micro PC you were testing... use the M2 memory card for more external storage ...and maybe a card reader ports, etc... Seems kind of pricey for its cost.

I have 4 screens on my desktop, and when I go on vacation I plan to extend my vacation by working a few days from the apartment we're going to rent, and having 3-screens is a life saver, because I haven't ever coded on less than 3 screens for years now. Code on the middle, browser testing on the right, database or anything else on the left. Means I can bring my laptop for just personal stuff and netflix and when I decide to work remotely I just plug the screens in. But I agree that it's a gimmick, or a very niche use case, because most people don't need it. And it takes quite a lot of room to take with you on a plane, so it might be annoying to take on a remote job where you have to fly too.

That Fopo thing... I would love a version of that, that doesn't suck, but I have no idea how you'd go about making one. Because of my lifestyle, I can't really have a desktop, but I also don't need a lot of portability. My hobby involves a lot of technical writing, so the screen real-estate would help. At a third the price, I could live with the shortcomings of that display solution, but at its current price? A couple of Walmart monitors make a lot more sense.

This was a fun video Dawid. Definitely do this again! I liked the concept of the USB hub with a built in M.2 port. Might be kinda cool to go along with Steam Deck.

I liked the monitors actually, I do like having idea of portable 3 display setup. Until I heard the price. Yeah, for half that price you can buy 2 monitors that can be used both normally and as portable, for example ViewSonic VG1655 is $150-$200 per one. It can also be used vertically, because it is not stuck to laptop like those. So yeah, if they were cheaper, they could be great product, but for price like that, you can buy 2 portable monitors from actual reputable brands and still have some money left.

I may have one of the few legit use cases for the FOPO. I use some other random Chinese brand but same concept. I live in a campervan full time. It sucks doing stuff on a single small laptop screen, but there isn't enough space in the van to mount actual monitors without them getting in the way, sucking a ton of power, and bouncing around while going down the road. Now I can just plop these on and multitask without taking up much space. Also when gaming on the main screen I like having a twitch stream or youtube video or google page up on the side screen in peripheral.

I guess that is a good use right there. Although for the price Id rather an external monitor or two with a battery. I think that would come in cheaper than that $650 thing.

This was an absolutely great episode, loved it!

I think the USB hub with an M.2 slot could be useful for data recovery. Your MB had dies and you need a file from your M.2 drive, plug the hub into a laptop and get that file.

You might not know it, but the USB-Hub you've got there is mostly used for Smartphones as a Docking Station, since Smartphones often support a somewhat "hidden" Desktop-Mode which only enables if a proper Docking-Adapter is plugged in, so you can use the M.2 SSD as extended Storage, connect up to 2 USB-A Drives (or Mouse and Keyboard if you prefer), an additional USB-C Device, an HDMI Screen (for the Desktop-Mode) and an Ethernet Cable in case your WiFi is too slow (even with 5GHz Wifi, Ethernet will most likely outspeed it extremely), that's why the PC doesn't really get all the Performance off of the SSD (Phones don't need that much Read/Write Bandwidth from any connected Storage Expansions because they couldn't handle that much anyways) So yeah, there you got the answer for the slow speed and the lack of USB-Ports on it

I absolutely loved this video. Would love this to be one a series 👍

21:09 think about it when laptops launched its not even like today a chunky thing that maybe portable that same apply here more people buy this stuff the companis improve this so in the future we can seen a portable monitor thing being portable until then its just for extreme productivity guys

The mini PC was easily the best, and the monitor bullshit is atrocious trash. I don't want a kilo of obsolete junk monitors hanging off the delicate laptop hinges of anyone's computer, let alone my own.

Such a great video that I subscribed after getting this recommended just so I get to see episode 2.

Ive been wanting that acasis hub for a while. Thanks for the honest review! All those other shmucks are getting payed for their words

I think the term "USB hub" is lost in translation. It is mainly just a glorified Multi memory adapter in my eyes. I like that it can read NVME memory and whatever media you have around in a pinch without fumbling around.

Imagine if this was David's endgame lmao: build up a sizeable audience as a "tech reviewer", get companies to attempt to advertise their products through you, obtain ultimate form of entertainment for yourself and your viewers by reviewing random fun sh*t they sent you.

Dawid, I wish you had more fun in your videos 😂 I absolutely loved this one! Great stuff as usual EDIT: Holy crap, just hit the FOPO rant and I'm dying! I also 100% agree

You should turn this into a quarterly segment! Requirement for Anna to be the one who chooses the random crap for you)

This really is one of the most entertaining tech channels on KZread.

That video idea is an excellent way to make a "junk reviews" filter and ending up with some nice products at some point. at the same time, you help peoples to not get screwed around by some bad offers that look nice.

On the FOPO montior thing, I could see myself using one of those a couple nights a month. My job has me taking a 3 day, 2 night trip every 30 days. When I get to the hotel, I have nothing but time until I inevitably pass out and do it all again the next day somewhere else. Having extra screens for a laptop to game or use for multi screen productivity stuff in a car packed with work stuff takes up real estate I really don't have. Sure, the thing is far from ideal, but itll help in a pinch.

if the hub works with a samsung phone that might be perfect for that you can use mouse and keyboard aswell as a disply and can you coonect ethernet i know can connect external storage so yeah i never see using that for a laptop but for phone maybe

New series alert. The FOPO would have been great for me when I was traveling and doing implementations, but yeah those hinges have to be able to support the cables and you can’t have it fold to where the display is on the outside. Gonna need some revisions.

One of the funniest episodes yet. Genuinely had a great time watching this and it was a great start to my Sunday morning. 😁😎👍

Just found your channel. Loving the chaos!

I work in the entertainment industry and I can immediately think of an amazing use for the FOPO... ETC Nomad. The ETC Nomad is software with a USB key and USB-DMX interface that allows you to use EOS lighting control software on your computer. Most people that use Nomad use it on a laptop... and... multiple screens is a literal must for this. Now, true, this is a situation where a couple $90 HP lcd's works great, BUT... This kind of layout with your cue list, magic sheet, ML controls, digital faders and more all available at once is great, and the only thing that would make it better... is if they were touch screens.

AWESOME!😂DO MORE! DO MORE! These are some of the best episodes ever😂 Why haven't you been reviewing this stuff? Thank you some of the best entertainment ever! You are definitely my favorite youtuber. ❤🤣😂❤

Totally agree with you about the laptop multi screen. Once you sacrifice the portability, you might as well plug your laptop into a couple cheap monitors from a thrift store and you’ve recreated this product for about twenty bucks.

15:00 wow that thing is genius tho! your body controls the temperature through the earlopes, so making them cool will cool your body. so its not half bad
