I really appreciate this well thought out review, especially the bits about those extra steps of having to plug everything in on the 2 each time it’s put away and pulled back out.
A further refinement would be another kickstand on the other side. To distribute the weight and stress on the hinges more evenly on the laptop. A number of laptops are notorious for weak hinges anyway. So I would prefer a kickstand in the same place on both sides. And then a way as you said, to fold the screens in, while staying plugged in. Do those two things and this will be the best triple monitor setup I can find on the market. They are a little small size wise. The rest are around 13.3 inch. But otherwise I like this one the best. They have raised the price $100 though. From the original. Which makes me hesitate to buy one now. In the $399 (which they were originally) to even $425 range now to accommodate for inflation on everything, being these are smaller monitors and the two small issues, this would be a rock solid buy. But as it stands now at $499, plus I would need the plug adaptor which has also increased in price, this is pushing $600. And I can get the triple screen setups from a couple of the others with bigger monitors at that price. I though these guys nailed the features to value ratio mostly before. But now, I am gonna wait and watch for further refinement…
You likely need the adapter from them. Cable has two cables built in. Buy directly from the maker of this product. Like $49. “Tri Screen Adaptor”. But all of the M1 Mac Laptops need the adaptor cable to make both monitors work.
It is a total piece of garbage!! I got one today via fed ex. Sent it back in 20 mins. If you are a video editor, the monitors are way way way to small. Resolution is not tight. Give them credit where it’s deserved, the packaging is nice and it does hook on well. They are marketing gurus, should would on Madison Ave in nyc, selling garbage. Others than that total Chinese garbage. Got the stupid adaptor to make it work with my Mac.Soo many cables.So if you want to monitor for chats or instagram or something while you are doing “real work” maybe it would be ok. But if your a pro look elsewhere. They also charged me 15 bucks to send it back for a label charge or some non sense. This was the biggest let down I have ever purchased. Anyone who says they like this is paid or a bot, ( I don’t know what a bot is, but if they say they like this they are a bot:) no human would like this.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I remember getting excited about 286. Damn I'm old.
I will preferred Xebec 2. Thanks for your amazing video.👍
Well. For me, I don’t mind the shorter cable! Anyways, for the xebec 2, for someone like me that likes easier to carry, the 2 is better !
Biggest problem for me...can't fit in my bag nor collapse down without removing cables.
Do you have a larger laptop to demo these on? I am interested to see if this would be good for my 16" MBP
I'm thinking the 3...with the best features of both 1 and 2. 1 being able to close up and be self contained is pretty cool. the kickstand on 2.
just add a usb c input on both sides, and 1 more kickstand.
Great review, thank you!
The 1 hs a gadget to hold the screens up. Seems to work as well as the kickstand.
great review Nathan.
Hello, is that tiny leg strong to hold all that weight?
YES!
Why only one screen is working on my Mac? 🤔

@@DangerousDevilOfficial oh okay thank you!
@@mnkmnknyk7870 you are welcome.
