With the ability of usb 3.1 to provide power, i think it would be cool to have a monitor for your laptop that just clips to the side. Any thoughts or suggestions.
It would definitely be possible. Although USB 3.1 can support monitors with input + power, I have not seen any USB monitors around. But there are adapters for USB to VGA etc. and then you could probably bodge together a power adapter to power the screen
But as a kind of side note, I think IBM made a laptop with a kind of pop out mini screen for the side, I don't know if it was any good or not but they seemed to give up on it so I think it was just a gimmick really.
