I mean, isn’t the purpose of portable netbooks and laptops is so that you don’t have to lug around heavy equipment? So why would you bring along a USB monitor? Anyways, the Mimo 7 inch USB monitor is one classic example of a useless gadget that is not environmentally friendly. The Mimo 710-S monitor would take up twice as much power on your laptop battery, making you charge your laptop more and consume more energy. Very bad for our environment.

The Mimo 710-S costs $149.99 and you only get 800×480 resolution and 400:1 contrast ratio. Save your money and just stick with your old netbook.
