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?
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.
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.
Are you the type of person who learns by jumping right in? Or, do you take an education first approach? Blend of the two? Something different? I am curious to know! For me, seeing is understanding! I typically begin with video content to visually grasp initial concepts. Then, as needed, gravitate towards written…
