Meet CrowView Note Portable Monitor
CrowView Note is a 14-inch monitor with integrated keyboard, touchpad, speakers and microphone. The all-in-one design simplifies setup and eliminates the hassle of connecting multiple accessories. Portable and versatile, it’s perfect for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts, office settings, studios and convenient on-the-go use. The energy-saving design makes CrowView your trustworthy companion for on-the-go productivity.
Its lightweight and compact design make it ideal for professionals who travel frequently. It can be easily packed and set up anywhere, turning any space into a productive work environment. With a built-in 5,000 mAh battery, it offers extended usage without the need for constant charging, which is perfect for long flights or locations without easy access to power.
The integrated keyboard with English and German layouts is convenient for multilingual users, making it a versatile tool for international work. The USB Type-C full-featured port allows for easy connection to a variety of devices, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, enabling seamless multitasking and extended screen space. The 180° flexibility of the screen allows for comfortable viewing angles and positioning, which can be crucial during creative sessions.
The 1920 x 1080 resolution and built-in stereo speakers make it a good option for gaming or watching movies, providing an immersive experience. Gamers can use this monitor as a secondary display for consoles or PCs, especially useful in limited space scenarios or when traveling. The inclusion of a full-sized keyboard and precise touchpad allows for efficient note-taking, coding, or any work requiring extensive typing and control. It can serve as an additional screen for online classes, presentations, or training sessions, making it easier to manage multiple tasks or content streams.
The built-in microphone and speakers are useful for video conferencing, ensuring clear communication without the need for additional peripherals. Its portable nature makes it easy to carry to meetings and presentations, where it can be used to display slides, documents, or other content. Content creators can use the device to edit videos, write scripts, or manage social media content on the go, benefiting from the combination of a large touchpad and full control functionalities.
I especially liked it due to the fact that you can power via USB Type-C battery-less devices (Firefly Station M1 & M2, in my case) that use this input as power supply, you connect them via HDMI, and thanks to the large 5000 mAh battery, you can create a portable workstation wherever you want. I was also impressed by the fact that I can directly connect my Oppo Find X5 phone and work on a much larger screen with increased productivity
In all these scenarios, the CrowView Note 14″ Portable Monitor with Keypad provides a blend of portability, functionality, and versatility, making it a practical choice for a wide range of users and applications.
