Village Tronic ViBook
Jun 2nd, 2009 | By SimonWhen I first heard of the ViBook I had doubts that I would truly enjoy its presence. I mean, most monitors already have the ability to extend their workspace with a second monitor.
Then I realized that two monitors aren’t always enough. What if I needed 3, 4, 5 or even 6? No laptop is going to come with that many DVI or VGA ports nor will you likely have 3 video cards installed onto your PC. You will more than likely have 6 or 8 USB ports at your disposal and that’s where the ViBook really shines. You won’t need to fiddle with any screws or wiggle a cable to make sure all the pins line up. The USB connection is simple and always works.

When it comes to features and usability, the ViBook is incredibly simple. It only takes a few clicks before everything is running and you’ll have multiple displays at your fingertips. The software suite only draws about 30MB of memory which ensures it doesn’t bog down your system. Overall, I’m very pleased by the ViBook and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to boost their office productivity.
