Working from home – five tech solutions to make it more comfortable and efficient
- The coronavirus outbreak means millions of people in East Asia are staying away from the office and working from home
- From a docking station to a laptop stand, these five gadgets will upgrade your experience
As part of the battle against the coronavirus, many employees have been asked to stay away from the office as a precautionary measure. We look at some gadgets that can help you work more productively from home.
1. A portable monitor
The Asus ZenScreen Touch MB16AMT is a portable full-HD resolution monitor equipped with a 15.6-in screen and capacitive 10-point multitouch support. The latter means you can swipe, scroll, drag and pinch on this slim display.
Because the Asus ZenScreen Touch supports both USB Type-C and micro-HDMI, it is compatible with Windows or Mac laptops, smartphones, and even DSLR cameras that are equipped with micro-HDMI ports. A built-in 7,800 mAh battery gives up to four hours use on a single charge without draining the power from a connected laptop.
The bundled foldable smart case protects the display from dust and scratches when travelling, and doubles as a stand to prop the monitor up either in landscape or portrait mode. Alternatively, you can insert a pen into the “smart pen hole” at the bottom corner as an impromptu stand.
