I'm curious how this affects the battery life. My Macbook can barely hold a 2 hour charge as it is.
Side note: I used to use two monitors years ago but I found it less productive than having a single screen to focus on, so this probably isn't for me. 😁
@rrhoover This yes, I've gone from having 4 monitors to 2 monitors and now have come to the stunning conclusion I'm most productive while in bed on my small macbook. Apparently all the studies that came out supporting the use of multiple monitors were sponsored by Dell and NEC. Productivity only increases on multiple monitors if you're doing administrative work, but when it comes to "Deep Work" it seems to have the opposite effect really.

@rrhoover I'm strictly on one screen these days...but it helps if you're a master with your window management (using something like BetterSnapTool , BetterTouchTool, Alfred, etc. )
Despite taking many many pre-orders (without forgetting it was originally a Kickstarter), there is no real evidence that the product is ever going to exist, nor is there any good comms from the company. Buyer beware.

@slidenjoy_fraud I have been messaging them hoping that they will send me updates on my order and am seriously considering reporting them to my bank to receive a refund. They sent out an email of the product about a month ago - is this real? Or has anyone else gotten the same fake release of the product?
@ali_siam No, I'm pretty sure this product is a scam. Has all the hallmarks of a scam. release date constantly pushed, no updates, no one managing their website live chat, yet they have no problem processing pre-orders.
Although I really like the idea, I cannot upvote or support someone who hasn't been responding or honouring your early supporters (Kickstarter). If they're not getting response from you, why would anyone even try their luck?
Was at first excited about the product but then realized they still have yet to deliver this product to their Kickstarter backers (more than 3 years now). Will wait until they actually start honouring their previous orders first.
It would totally kill my productivity but love the soccer match across the 3 screens! I have wanted this idea to come to fruition for a long time so I can have music on one screen, media on another and work in center. I tried to contact you through your website but the captcha link is broken meaning I cannot send my message. Can you email me here: dave@lowelowe.com
@thejestr1@daren_jacobs That sucks. I haven't been on ProductHunt for so long but this was one product that I actually thought was useful. Shame that they have not fulfilled.
@thejestr1@davidjlowe I gave them money in 2016, others have been waiting since 2015. They are unresponsive, and in the rare event you do get a response it's. "We are waiting to hear from the product team." That's been the message since 2017. The thing that is most upsetting is that they are still taking orders knowing they are not going to ship.

Pros:
Idea
Cons:
Customers never delivered since 2015 - Consumes 50% more battery
I have been waiting 4 years for the slidenjoy I purchased to show up. I'm fed up, I am joining the group of people just like me who are also tired of waiting and forming a law suit against Slidenjoy.
