Kitchen Table

Sometimes this is what my "office" looks like - especially when I'm helping keep an eye on the puppy.

I'm researching investing in a portable screen or doing it through my iPad.

Which model do you use?

Jack Doherty

Andrée, that is actually an Android tablet (Galaxy Tab S8). You can use a function on it called "second screen" to project from Windows and have it act exactly like a second monitor. It works quite well! There's occasionally a bit of lag but not enough to seriously impact functionality. I don't think you can do the same thing natively with an iPad, but I could be mistaken.

Thanks!

Yes, you can do something similar with Apple Sidecar, but then I'd like to have a 15" iPad 😉

I'm looking at Asus portable monitors, but I'll probably test Apple Sidecar first.

Do you like the Targus keyboard? Looks slim and portable.

Jack Doherty

For sure. I have the larger Galaxy tab so it's around the same size as my laptop screen. Works great. Though fwiw I was also looking at the Asus monitors. LG also makes on that looks promising. And yes, I do like the keyboard! It does have a few small annoyances (mostly having to use the function key for lots of things since space is limited) but it's responsive and super portable - folds in half so I can just drop it in my laptop bag.
