I have been doing a lot of traveling lately. On thing that I always miss when I am traveling is my 2 large monitors from my home desktop system. Going from them to a laptop screen is not that fun. You can purchase laptops with pull-out screens, but they are few are far between and are quite expensive. So what are you to do if you want a dual-screen setup on your laptop? Get a portable display of course! Today we are talking a look at the On-Lap 1301 Portable Monitor.

It is a SATA 6GB/s solid state drive, but comes with software that allows you to make it a caching drive on any PC system. Read on as we check it out!
