Product Description
The only portable monitor that can click, swivel, and go.
Designed with a patented 360° swivel hinge, this innovative second screen features game-changing new attachable monitor technology to instantly double your laptop screen space. The Full HD portable monitor magnetically clicks onto a hidden metal plate on the back of your laptop to combine the productivity of working on two screens with the portability of a laptop.
Minimalist, magnetic attachment.
Adhere the device-safe magnetic plate to the back of your laptop. Once added, simply click the Swivel onto the plate. The extra-strength magnet keeps your portable monitor secure while allowing you to remove and re-attach it with ease. If you’d prefer not to adhere the metal plate directly to your laptop, you can adhere it to a laptop case instead.
Work from anywhere
The ultimate portable workstation, SideTrak Swivel attaches securely to any laptop with a hidden magnetic plate and folds away when not in use.
Customize your screen angle
The only full-swivel attachable monitor on the market, the Swivel’s unique design allows for seamless screen sharing and comfortable viewing.
Experience versatile viewing
Swivel, rotate, or remove the screen for the perfect flexible setup. The optional integrated kickstand allows for easy freestanding functionality.
Maximize your productivity
Instantly double your screen real estate with this revolutionary Full HD screen and experience increased efficiency wherever your workday takes you.
Patented 360° swivel hinge
SideTrak Swivel adjusts to your ideal viewing angle with an exclusive 360° screen swivel and 270° screen rotation. And the best part? The unique hinge design allows the monitor to stay attached to your laptop without the need for any desktop or table space, so you can work while on the go, on the couch, or outdoors.

Pros: VERY portable
Easy to setup
Adjustable (can move to left or right side)
Efficient
Cost effective (if you buy used. I got mine for $240 and it did not have any damage at all, everything included in package except mounting guide.
Cons: A bit pricy for a portable monitor but you’re definitely paying for the technology and portability aspect
It’s a bit heavy and strains my laptop hinge, not sure of long term repercussions, however I’m sure it’ll be fine
If you have to plug in both cables, there’s wires everywhere
Display isn’t as crystal clear as the laptops monitor, not horrible quality but definitely noticeably less than my laptops (however it’s a portable monitor so it’s okay)
Screen isn’t as bright as I would have hoped for but it’s not bad
OVERALL: I love it and I couldn’t imagine NOT having a portable second monitor like this with my laptops now.
I honestly wish I would have had this in my life sooner! 5/5. When setting up PLEASE make sure you have it on perfectly, like a prior review says you’ll have to tilt it a little bit to make sure it’s perfectly aligned.
If you’re on the fence on the price point like I was, if there are any used ones buy it! Essentially the same as new and almost 30% cheaper or so. I have absolutely no regrets and am a happy customer.
I look forward to see if this company will create a newer version in the future, as I am going to get it.
Pros:
Provides me with the additional screen I need for school and work
Requires only one chord to connect to laptop and Monitor (chord comes included with monitor)
Easy to flip open and close when not in use
Con:
Because it’s installed as an additional piece to my laptop cover, the weight of the monitor will cause my laptop to occasion fall back due to the weight. I have to angle the cover a little forward so it does not topple over or use something to brace the back or the laptop cover so it does not fall over.
The brightness of the monitor isn’t as bright as my laptop monitor. I might have to play around with the options (possible user error). I will update my review if I am able to resolve the issue.
Like I said, overall, I’m happy I purchased it. Do I use it all the time — not really. But when I need it, it does come in handy.
I love concept of only needing one cord and not having to connect to a power strip. Two negative issues occur from this set up:
1) my display is constantly shaking/wobbling because I have my laptop (and therefore sidetrack) on a ergo-riser. The extra height makes it bounce bc the SideTrak throws it off balance a bit
2) the cords die! I'm on my 3rd cord from the company in under a year. Kudos to them for continually sending me new ones for free (and their customer service is quick and amazing!), but I'd rather not have to request them. The metal part of the usb-c that plugs into the laptop gets loose and renders the whole thing ineffective. I don't want a workaround. I don't want to plug into a usb-a or b converter. I want the cord to work and remain healthy so I don't have to deal with screen flickerings / dancing / resetting / being flat-out blank / etc. Just make it work, please.
Here is my experience with some of the common review themes:
- easy placement guide to attach magnet to laptop. Its just a paper with directions and a cutout where to place magnet—simple and effective!
- very secure, when attaching monitor to laptop magnet there is an obvious “click” sound so you know its secure. I can move from my desk to couch with the laptop and monitor open easily.
-adjustable monitor angles! This seemed less common in other models. Plus, its very secure so I dont feel the need to be super delicate about making adjustments.
- picture quality. Ehh, i wouldnt use it for watching a movie or making art but its perfect for zoom calls, slack, emails!
-no setup required. Some other models you need to download a driver….which seems like it could be a big pain, especially with a work computer.
Bottom line, I like it!
Also, try to get your work to pay for it! 😂
