Working from home has its perks, but there are a few negatives we all have to navigate. Be it extraneous noise, constant interruptions, or family members making cameos on Zoom, our home office setups can be less than ideal. In fact, for many remote workers, one of the biggest productivity pitfalls is the lack of a multi-monitor desktop layout. To which we say, if your company isn’t springing for those expensive (not to mention bulky) computer screens, why should you?
Beat the system with the Mobile Pixels DUEX Pro Portable Dual Monitor, now available for $69 off with code SAVEDUEXPRO. This smart accessory attaches to any laptop, adding a second screen in seconds, wherever you may be working from. A crowdfunded product, the internet saw all its brilliant benefits and helped raise over an impressive $1 million in funding on Indiegogo.
While it’s seamless to use, this portable monitor is anything but basic. The 1080p screen delivers sharp, clear graphics. You can easily adjust the positioning, with 270-degree rotation and dual-sided sliding. There’s even a 180-degree presentation mode, which will come in handy for your next in-person meeting.
Let the multitasking fun begin. Move between screens with ease, whether you’re working on that big presentation or taking a little gaming break (it happens). Distractions aside, this monitor will help you reach your next deadline early; expect your productivity to increase by 50 percent when you're in dual-monitor mode.
The Mobile Pixels DUEX Pro Portable Dual Monitor normally costs $249 at full price, but you can get it for $180, or $69 off, with code SAVEDUEXPRO at checkout.
Solid-state battery maker Factorial Energy recently raised $200 million in a Series D round led by Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis. Factorial says the funding will be used to accelerate commercial production and deployment of its solid-state battery technology, which the company says is safer, and offers up to 50% more driving range than current lithium-ion technology. Factorial also has joint development agreements (announced in late 2021) with Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Hyundai, three of the top 10 global automotive manufacturers, to commercialize its batteries. Factorial CEO Siyu Huang joined Cheddar News' Closing Bell to discuss.

FIT:MATCH is looking to change the game when it comes to the way retailers size clothes. The company's augmented reality technology takes a look at body shape data rather than generalized, traditional sizing parameters to determine how a piece of apparel will fit wearers. Haniff Brown, CEO and founder, joined Cheddar to discuss the patented ar-powered apparel technology and partnering with pop superstar Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty lingerie line. "We launched in Vegas with Savage on January 22 and we've been having goosebumps at some of the testimonials, where customers are saying this is such an easier process versus going into a fitting room and having an associate have to touch and get handsy with a cold tape measure," Brown said.
