Netbooks have many things in common — in particular, low-resolution displays. It can be a real challenge to see everything at once on those small screens. The folks at Mimo have a solution to that problem, the Mimo 720-S, an external monitor that is highly portable. The monitor, which sports a 7-inch touchscreen that rotates and pivots to any desired angle, attaches to the netbook (or any computer) with a single USB connection, so it’s easy to “plug and go.”
The Mimo 720-S can be used with either Windows (XP and Vista) or with Macs. The innovative pivoting stand also serves as a cover for transport; simply close it and throw it in your bag to take with you. Hopefully, I’ll soon have one of these to test out with the many netbooks in Mobile Tech Manor. $230.
