The built-in speakers are too quiet, though. It’s more than good enough to get work done, and acceptable for watching video. Images quality is high, just not amazing. And this monitor and its folio case weighs less than my 13-inch MacBook Air.
I tried it with several backpacks designed to carry generic laptops and it fit in all of them easily. The Lepow 15.6-Inch USB-C Portable Monitor can be a real gamechanger, especially for people with 13-inch MacBooks - consider the advantages of three or four apps displayed at once, rather than one or two crowded onto a smaller screen.Īnd this display really is very portable.

I go into depth in my feature “ Why you should add a second screen to your iPad Pro.” The Lepow 15.6-Inch USB-C Portable Monitor is slim, even in its carry case/stand. You can watch movies on the 15.6-inch screen, or make a presentation with your iPad facing you and the Lepow monitor facing the client.
However, many video apps do properly take advantage of a second screen, and the same goes for presentation software. This means most applications are just mirrored on Lepow’s display, and at a not much larger size. For all the improvements brought by iPadOS 13, full support for external monitors isn’t one of them.
