Ultra-portable display Slidenjoy trial notebook external perfect match

For laptop users, multi-screen configuration is basically out of reach. Although so-called portable monitors have appeared on the market, their performance and portability are not satisfactory. Recently, another portable monitor called Slidenjoy has come out. This device comes from a Belgian company and has been a great success on the crowdfunding platform. So how does it actually perform? The technology website Ubergizmo recently tried it out.

How it works

The custom aluminum alloy hinges (made in Switzerland) equipped with Slidenjoy realize a unique sliding and rotating system, which is also the biggest difference between it and other similar products. You can fix the main body of Slidenjoy behind the notebook, pull out the two screens from the left and right sides, and then adjust them to the appropriate angle.

When the screen is retracted, Slidenjoy is very easy to carry. If you are worried that your laptop body may not be able to adapt to Slidenjoy, you can use it as an independent dual monitor.

Both Slidenjoy screens support 180-degree rotation, which greatly increases the freedom of use. Not only can you put the screen in front of you, but you can also rotate it to the opposite side or form a triangle for others to watch.

Portability

Slidenjoy's killer feature is its ultra-light weight. It is reported that each display weighs between 50-100 grams, depending on the screen size (13, 15, and 17 inches). The central panel is made of ABS plastic and is very light. It is reported that the overall weight of Slidenjoy should not exceed 400 grams.

Slidenjoy can be said to be the lightest portable monitor on the market. In comparison, HP 's latest 14-inch portable USB monitor EliteDisplay S140u weighs about 1020 grams, Asus MB168B+ 15.6-inch USB monitor is 798 grams, Toshiba 14-inch USB Mobile is 1027 grams, and Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421 14-inch monitor is 840 grams. More importantly, they all have only one display panel.

hardware

Slidenjoy is very solidly made, especially for such an innovative product. The development team said that the model they are currently showing is just a prototype, but it is very close to the final product. It is reported that the central panel of the device made of ABS material is currently between 1.6-1.7 cm thick, but will eventually be reduced to 1.5 cm.

Slidenjoy is manufactured in Charleroi, Belgium, the display panel comes from China, and the hinge is made in Switzerland.

Display

Slidenjoy is equipped with two IPS LCD displays, available in three sizes: 13 inches, 15 inches, and 17 inches. The resolution of both displays is 1920x1080 and they are compatible with OS X and Windows operating systems.

When choosing a monitor, the display effect is definitely one of the most important considerations. For Slidenjoy, since the product focuses on portability and innovative user experience, its screen performance may not be as good as that of ordinary desktop monitors, which users need to pay attention to.

connect

Like other portable monitors, Slidenjoy gets its power from a USB 3.0 port. If your computer doesn't have a USB 3.0 port, you can use two regular USB cables to connect to the computer and the monitor.

Price and availability

Slidenjoy is expected to be launched in December this year, with the dual-screen version priced at 299 euros (about 2,010 yuan) and the single-screen version at 199 euros (about 1,338 yuan). In addition to the regular colors and body materials, Slidenjoy will also provide high-end and limited edition models, priced at 449/749 euros (about 3,018/5,035 yuan) respectively.
