I've used this for about a week now. I've been in the tech side of the industry for quite a while, and get to test out a ton of devices and I've reached the point where I'm not always easily impressed about how it might impact my day to day work.
FYI - the review is based on my experience with XPS 15 2-in-1 which has a USB-C port.
I've been a major user of the BeChiq line of portable monitors, and have typically loved them because of their weight and easy accessibility. The negative was that I needed to have the desk space and the ports (HDMI and a USB power source) to get the monitors working for the models that I have.
In comes the Duex.
PROS:
--------
+ I no longer have to worry about where on my desk is it going to fit
+ one single cable, I don't need to carry a portable hub to convert it
+ weight is just as light as the other portable monitors
+ the magnets snap on really easily, plenty of leeway to monitor around if it is not perfectly centralized
+ The swivel on the monitor, I've already found myself using it twice to show someone my screen while I was in the conference room - was not planned.
+ took seconds to set up.
+ Able to set up with four monitors (including the Duex) rather easily and quickly.
+ I can carry it to a meeting and I automatically have a second screen.
CONS
--------
None of these are really cons - but I figured I'd spell it out as FYI's:
- I have not had the chance to test it out with a laptop that did not have a USB-C - I'm sure the user experience is going to change a little bit.
- I sometimes forget that my laptop's is not used to the weight of the of the additional monitor, and it could be pulled back while I am carrying the laptop with the screen open. That's more my stupidity than anything else.
Screenshot: I have a frankenstein set-up at the work place to make it work with my standing desk. With two main monitors (24" and 27") and my laptop, the duex has a different size altogether. :) Duex is on the bottom right.
