I'm curious how this affects the battery life. My Macbook can barely hold a 2 hour charge as it is.
Side note: I used to use two monitors years ago but I found it less productive than having a single screen to focus on, so this probably isn't for me. 😁

@rrhoover This yes, I've gone from having 4 monitors to 2 monitors and now have come to the stunning conclusion I'm most productive while in bed on my small macbook. Apparently all the studies that came out supporting the use of multiple monitors were sponsored by Dell and NEC. Productivity only increases on multiple monitors if you're doing administrative work, but when it comes to "Deep Work" it seems to have the opposite effect really.

@rrhoover I'm strictly on one screen these days...but it helps if you're a master with your window management (using something like BetterSnapTool , BetterTouchTool, Alfred, etc. )

Despite taking many many pre-orders (without forgetting it was originally a Kickstarter), there is no real evidence that the product is ever going to exist, nor is there any good comms from the company. Buyer beware.
Pros:
Good idea
Cons:
Main con - it seems to actually be a con

@slidenjoy_fraud I have been messaging them hoping that they will send me updates on my order and am seriously considering reporting them to my bank to receive a refund. They sent out an email of the product about a month ago - is this real? Or has anyone else gotten the same fake release of the product?
I see alot of online complaints regarding no shipping, no refunds for kickstarter backers. Has this been resolved?
Report
@ali_siam No, I'm pretty sure this product is a scam. Has all the hallmarks of a scam. release date constantly pushed, no updates, no one managing their website live chat, yet they have no problem processing pre-orders.
They constantly lie and give a release date for 1 month time which never delivers
Pros:
idea
Cons:
its a con
Report
Although I really like the idea, I cannot upvote or support someone who hasn't been responding or honouring your early supporters (Kickstarter). If they're not getting response from you, why would anyone even try their luck?
Report
Definitely a sore spot for me when companies ignore the people giving them money; I see it a lot these days. Fool me once...
Report
Was at first excited about the product but then realized they still have yet to deliver this product to their Kickstarter backers (more than 3 years now). Will wait until they actually start honouring their previous orders first.
