Laptop monitor extenders can be worth it for multitaskers, remote workers, and frequent travelers. They boost productivity by providing extra screen space, making it easier to manage multiple applications. Compact and portable, they’re great for on-the-go setups. However, their value depends on your workflow—if you rarely need dual screens, the investment might not be necessary.
