Mac users will need to download and install the monitor driver from the AOC website prior to plugging in the monitor, but you can do that before your monitor shows up on your doorstep. It's available online for about $130, there's no need to carry around a power brick or heavy cable, and it just works when plugged in. Couldn't you give it a more memorable title than e1649Fwu? As a result, it's hard to get to - a simple connector on the back side of the monitor would have been sufficient and much easier to plug into. For some reason, AOC chose to put it on the inside wall of the cavity made when you pull out the fold-out stand. If I have one complaint with the e1649Fwu, it's the location of the mini-USB port. If you happen to have an older Mac with low-power USB ports, you might need to plug both connectors into ports to get sufficient power for the monitor. The connection to your Mac is made through an included USB to mini-USB cable.

Colors seemed a bit more saturated on the AOC monitor than on the MacBook Air display, but that is a personal observation instead of a highly sophisticated fact. It would be nice if AOC included a cheap bag of some sort to pack the monitor in to keep it scratch-free when mobile, but I'd rather have the low price tag than a bag.ДЄpple purists will note that the monitor isn't up to 'Apple standards.' I noticed that when you're looking at a white display (a blank page, for instance) you can almost see the individual pixels on the screen. While it's larger than the 11' MacBook Air I tested it with, the e1649Fwu weighs 2.3 lbs and fits into a backpack or computer bag.

What would you use a portable monitor for? It's perfect for giving presentations to a small group seated at a conference table, and it's a great way to get additional screen real estate with any Mac. The monitor can only be used in landscape (wide) mode on the Mac and has a fixed resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The screen measures 16' diagonally, and has a foldout stand that props the monitor up at a slight angle. There's no power supply required you just plug the monitor into a USB port, and you're ready to go.

Now AOC has released the e1649Fwu 16' Portable USB Monitor ($139.99) that is perfect for those situations where you want a second monitor for your MacBook Air or any other Mac.ДЇor work with a laptop, the e1649Fwu is perfect. If there's one issue that I have with it, it's that sometimes that screen seems just a little too small. As many TUAW readers know, I have a serious love affair with my 11' MacBook Air.
