If your laptop display is too small for you, check out the latest USB monitor from Mimo. While its previous offering increased your screen real estate by 7 inches, the latest iMo Mini-Monster Touch comes with a 10.1-inch touch screen that requires only a USB cable to work.

Unlike conventional monitors, Mimo displays can be powered with a single USB connection that also streams video data. It's able to do this as the company has decreased the power consumption of this device to a low enough point that it fits within the power output of a standard USB 2.0 port (though for older machines you may need another USB port for extra power).

The Mini-Monster has a resistive touch screen and hence can be used with both fingers and styli. The USB monitor automatically installs required drivers to your laptop (for Windows users), and is compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7 and Mac OS X 10.4.11 and above.
