Portable Monitor Built In Battery

If you need an extra screen for you laptop more than you need it for your desk, a portable monitor could be the solution. Cheaper than buying a tablet (many of which can double as portable monitors) and it provides the extra screen space that you're used to with the external monitor at work. It's also thin, lightweight and travel-friendly, just like a tablet, so you can take it anywhere.

When shopping for a portable monitor, there are a number of things to consider. There's its size and picture quality. There's its number of ports, which is important if you want to connect things other than your laptop (like a smartphone or gaming console). There's whether or not you want it to have a touchscreen, which is important for graphic designers and artists. And then there's its battery situation; some portable monitors have a built-in battery, while others need to draw power from your laptop.

The field is growing, and it's more vital than ever as more people work from previously uncommon spaces. Here are some of the best options you can find right now.

The Budget Model: Asus MB168B

This is a 15.6-inch portable monitor that's a little older and lacks some modern conveniences, like a USB-C connection and a touchscreen display. However, it's affordable and still provides an extra screen space you need to stay organized while working from home.
