Have you ever wondered, what kind of laptop setup Batman would use? Here it is. This has got to be
one of the most audacious, brilliant, over the top, bonkers laptop accessory that I have used in
my life. It's called Kwumsy PRO Tri-Screen and you basically attach it to your laptop’s screen and
add 2 extra displays. While this may sound like a crazy idea, it's actually quite brilliant. I was
initially dismissive of this product, but after using it for few days, I am genuinely impressed.
With three screens surrounding your peripheral vision, you get a very immersive computing
experience. I was able to focus on the task at hand without getting distracted. I think this
kind setup would also attract gamers, who want a more immersive gaming experience. Honestly I don't
game that much on my laptop, but this tri-screen setup has been a game changer for my productivity.
I usually put the main application window in the central screen and keep all relevant companion
documents on each side. That way I can easily refer to them with a quick left and right glance,
while continuing to focus on my main task. Since all the 3 screens reside in my line of sight,
the end result is a very intuitive almost meditative kind of work experience.
But before I go any further, let me take a step back and talk about the history of
this product. The idea for creating this tri-screen laptop setup was conceived and
crowdfunded at Kickstarter and Indiegogo. The project was a big success and now you can buy
it on Amazon or directly from the company's website. So the model that I have here with me,
is the flagship pro model. It sells for $549 on Kwumsy’s website and $599 on Amazon. This pro
model is expensive because it's the first product that I know of, that supports triple display on M1
Macbooks. Typically M1 Macbook Airs only support 1 external display, but these guys have developed
a dedicated software driver that works in conjunction with the mainboard chip to power
2 external displays. So that means you can rock 3 screens on your new M1 Macbook Air
But this product isn't just meant for Macbook fans. If your windows laptop supports displayport
1.4 protocol via USB Type-C, then you can also rock a triple screen just like my setup here.
I have got a Lenovo Ideapad gaming laptop with nVidia graphics. To get the three screens working,
all I had to do was connect the included USB Type-C cable to my laptop. As you can see,
I am able to span my display across 3 screens and move any window from one screen to another. I can
also adjust the brightness, contrast and the color temperature of each display to match my laptop's
main screen. This is essential if you intend to use this setup for long hours. All the three
screens here are running at FULL HD resolution at 60 Hz refresh rate. And the best part is that
I don't need any batteries or external power supply because the entire setup is running from
a single USB Type-C cable that carries both the power and display signal. Pretty sweet
Now let's take a closer look at the tri-monitor chassis. It's entire assembly is made from
aluminum and feels very premium. You can adjust its width to fit any laptop screen from 13.3”
to 16.5”. It's back includes a kick-stand to support the tri-monitor assembly in case your
laptop's hinge cannot bear the full weight of all three screens. All the cables that you would need
are included in the box. You get 2 USB Type-C cable and 1 USB Type-C to type-A cable. BTW you
can also fold one screen to create a portrait setup which will come handy if you need a
taller secondary display. I can see software developers and programmers use this orientation.
Now this product isn't really meant for everyone. Costing over $500, it's pricey
and is squarely aimed at folks who value their productivity and want to get more work done in
less time. The 3-screens definitely boost my productivity and also increase my focus and
concentration. Plus it looks cool and I can pretend to be batman. If you are interested,
