The Triple Monitor Mega MacBook!

2016-07-29
so I found these cool little contraptions they're called mount II and what these guys do is allow you to clip an iPad onto a laptop in this case a matchbook the reason you might want to do it is for multitasking to create a multi monitor laptop scenario now normally you'd only do it with one iPad but I was like that's just not exciting enough let's get to two iPads one MacBook and create a triple monitor freak show now once you get connected like that you're probably wondering well what do i how do i what's on the iPad what's on the laptop well there's an app it's called duet display and it allows you to extend your desktop on to an iPad in fact there's another one called air display as well as a couple different ones each with different features and functions let's crack these babies open how many people wish they had a multi-monitor setup on the go but you don't want to have a separate external display they're big they're heavy they require a power source because they don't have a battery building well an iPad sort of solves all of that little adapters I'm guessing depending on which MacBook and which iPad that's the thing right there and its own so there's one let's get the other baby cracked open tiniest little instruction manual MacBook and MacBook Pro use D or F okay D is pre-installed they're like these little spacers of course once you figure out which ones you need you should be all set so if I crack this open just a little bit of this action here oh wow that's a lot more secure than I expected it to be and that just clips in Wow okay so you can kind of leave it on there take it off this up to you now could you do it in portrait mode as well I don't see why not oh I'm not sure I might even like that better doing some editing get yourself a little bit of real estate back Oh Oh so it kind of clamps down you get a core slew get with the times bro right Wow oh this one has a black skin on it from dbrand but look at this can you appreciate what's happening here that's the laptop I always wanted you know what really gets interesting is when you go with this duet app that I'm talking about duet display it's called you plug in via USB and lightning and the reason for that is because you want to get close to zero lag lag is a nightmare anytime you're extending a display yes trust oh it's launching whoa that is crazytown that is so odd okay hang on a second here I can do 60fps high-quality I'm gonna try retina resolution this is like my laptop but a stand it over onto the iPad now obviously if you're using it for video you're gonna want to be in and look at that it automatically adjusts the resolution let's say I've got Twitter open on this one maybe I want to use it portrait mode look at the multitasking right now I've got a half way between the two I can drag it over here like at that final cut open look at me right now who's better than you you show up with this thing right here in the Starbucks they're gonna be scared of you look at this dude what's he's uh he's hacking the Pentagon over there
