Is Dual Screen Laptop Monitor Stupid idea?

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Is having a second monitor for a laptop stupid? I used to think it is so. I can't remember if it was Razer or other companies that did a demo of their double or triple monitor for the laptop. Back then, I was thinking why would anyone want a laptop with so many screens? 

It looks bulky, heavy, and also kinda ugly. It would certainly drain the laptop battery much faster. That two hours of gaming will become 45 mins of gaming without plugging into a PowerPoint. So, I don't really see the point.

My mindset though began to change once I decided to use my portable monitor as a second monitor for my main pc. I bought my portable monitor to be used with my Samsung phone. Samsung Dex is a cool way of turning your phone into a computer with its desktop user interface (UI). 

I don't care how powerful other phones are, but Samsung with its Samsung Dex is a clear winner to me. Yes, there is Microsoft Your Phone app that you can mirror and use to access your mobile phone on your pc. But, Samsung Dex has a better UI. If they had a lapdock, that will be more useful!

You can read up on a few of my past posts using a portable monitor here. I was thinking of using a portable monitor as a second monitor for my laptop too. But, I like the idea of having a dual or trio monitor directly fixed at the back of your laptop screen.

It's much faster and a little hassle to have the extra screen fixed to your laptop than having to take out a portable monitor and setting up everything. All you have to do is shift out the extra monitor screen and start working. Yes, after using a dual monitor setup for my pc, I now realized how useful they are.

One thing though, they're still expensive, bulky, and ugly. Okay, not that ugly. Big screen Tv is getting slimmer and lighter. So, why can't that translate to a thinner and lighter dual or triple laptop monitor design? They really need to do more research on that.

Also, I'm hoping for it to get a little cheaper. Especially, when you can get a cheaper 15.6-inch portable monitor nowadays. That's why I'm torn in between getting a portable monitor or an attachable portable monitor for my laptop. I guess it depends on your personal preference.

As more people got into the idea of having a second or third monitor on a laptop, they might become more popular and cheaper. They need to come out with a nice and lighter design though. That new Asus Duo design took me a while to finally win me over. 

Now, if only I got the money to get it and try it out. :p
