Many companies, ranging from Airbnb to Apple, have adopted permanent remote work or hybrid models, giving digital employees much more flexibility when planning their schedules than their pre-pandemic, commute-focused lifestyles. You’ll likely need new home office equipment if your business falls into these categories.

That checklist may include a standing desk, higher-quality cameras and microphones for video calls or even upgraded lighting. But if you haven’t invested in a secondary monitor, you might not be maximizing your productivity, especially if you rely on a single laptop screen. Desklab offers an external touchscreen display to view extra programs, Slack messages, spreadsheets and more, and it’s on sale for $290 or over $400 off.

Rated 4.5 out of five in our store, the Desklab Portable Touchscreen Monitor features a 15.6-inch, 4K panel with a simple installation. Simply connect it to laptops, desktops, smartphones and tablets using the included USB-C and HDMI to mini HDMI cables to extend your device’s display. Measuring under 14 inches long and nine inches wide and weighing 1.3 pounds, the Desklab is built for portability. You can prop it beside your computer with a stand (sold separately) to create a dual-screen setup wherever you go, whether it’s a co-working space, a coffee shop or a hotel room.

You can mirror small devices to view content on a bigger screen or sharper resolution. Plus, you can connect the monitor to a Nintendo Switch for a more immersive experience or plug it into a console. The display also features speakers and a 3.5mm jack for headphones, so you don’t need a TV or audio equipment to satisfy your gaming needs while traveling. However, Desklab doesn’t guarantee that the monitor will work with every device.

If you’re used to working in an office, you may have taken your extra displays for granted. But with this Desklab Portable Touchscreen, you can enjoy a dual-screen experience anywhere you want to work or play, and you can purchase one today for $290 or over 50 percent off.
