I bought two sets of this PC build back in Oct 2025, glad I did! Finally built the second one up with my other daughter... all but the last step, routing power and cable management. Every time I build a PC and boot it up for the first time, I feel on edge like Dr. Frankenstein for some reason. IT'S ALIIIIIIVE!

If you run the external 2-panel OLED display off the laptop battery, even at low brightness, it's 50% reduction in battery life. Just tested. And it's not that much power draw, like 6w, from the inline cable power meter. That's still 4-5 hours of runtime, though, at 100% battery.

I’m enjoying this relatively simple, portable triple screen travel setup of a solid OLED Chromebook and the asus fold out double OLED screen, with only two usb-c cables (it can drive both panels independently with one cable) and a single dual port compact usb-c GaN charger. I only need the third cable plugged in when the Chromebook runs low and that Kompanio chipset is Apple M2 level quality!
