" ... It works if in a pinch but the engineering and build quality for the price, its kinda cheap and crappy. ... "
" ... Extremely cheap plastic for the housing and terrible hinge design. ... "
" ... Not that the metal plates don't stick to the laptop (because they do, if you let them set for 24-48 hours, took a fair bit of effort using a small screw driver and a grocery store club card to pry them off without damage), it's that the magnets on the monitor itself aren't very strong and I'd often find the monitor drooping down. ...
