Portable USB monitor for business trips. That second monitor when on the road does wonders.

For me this is where Apple's walled garden shines - my work laptop is a MacBook and I own an iPad for personal use. The iPad can connect to the laptop and function as a (high quality albeit small) secondary display. And then I have an entertainment device the rest of the time instead of just a monitor taking up bag space.

Plus, you don’t even need a USB cable if you’re on the same network.

Great when it works, but I had so many disconnects from my iPad that I gave in and bought a portable 14" 2K monitor instead :(

They're very affordable now too. I got one for something like $80 and it's been great. Working remote and getting to visit friends and family during the week and still have more screen real estate is huge.

Wait two years, there will be more.

That is what I thought as well.
