May 18: As Steve Jobs once said, “You cannot mandate productivity; you must provide the tools to let people become their best.”
In 2015, Charlee Jeunehomme, along with his two associates, Laurent Wéry and Thomas Castro invented the world’s first triple screen extension for laptops that works on a single USB cable. The three together founded Portabl, intending to improve people’s efficiency with new and innovative tech devices. Allowing them to work from anywhere, anytime in their own comfort. The company was born from a simple idea and now proudly meets the real needs of hundreds of people. Their brand identity can be best described as reinventing portability.
The Slide’s two 1080p FULL-HD displays have an innovative feature of operating via a single USB-C type cable. It also works on USB 3.0 and 2.0.
They definitely came to the market with the right product, at the right time. When COVID-19 impacted many businesses globally, partial home-working and new nomadic trends came completely in line with their mission: to improve the portability of millions of laptop users around the world, making them more efficient/productive no matter where they are. With working conditions being changed and millions of people continuing to partially work from outside traditional office spaces, The Slide is the perfect solution so that people don’t need to carry on their productive set up anywhere. All thanks to its ideal size, any laptop can be operated as a triple screen anywhere. It is lighter, transportable, foldable, and rotatable. Making it the world’s first triple screen extension for laptops.
Increasing Productivity and Endless Possibilities: How Multiple Screens Can Save Both Time And Money?
According to studies made by the University of Utah, NY Times, Microsoft, Apple & Dell;
Dual monitors can boost a person’s task completion rates by approximately 38%, which is almost equivalent to saving up to 3 hours a day.
Additionally, Research backs up the assumption that shows impressive increases in productivity conducive to a reduction in time to accomplish most daily tasks. A study by Jon Peddie Research found a 42% increase in productivity whenever using multiple displays or screens.
As time passes by, more and more people are using extra monitors to expand their digital workspaces. The majority of office desks now have more than one monitor installed for increased efficiency and convenience. Portabl, by Charlee Jeunehomme, Laurent Wéry, and Thomas Castro has created a solution to save people from all the hassle. With their product, The Slide, one can easily have a multiple monitor setup that is appealing, both, aesthetically and practically.
