Hi guys, my name is Ruben. I'm 31 years young. Two years ago, I moved to Dubai to launch my own hardware startup, DuoView Pro.
When I was younger, I ran e-commerce stores all over the world. I worked a lot from different places like airports, coffee shops, hotels, and I always felt the same: one laptop screen is just not enough. I tried different portable monitor systems, but most of them felt cheap, dim, low resolution, low quality.
I partnered with a leading design company in the Netherlands, and this year we won the iF Design Award. Here is what we built: two 16-inch screens, 2.5K resolution with up to 500 nits brightness, full CNC aluminum, and the best part, both screens run from just one single cable. 0.7 mm thin glass, optically bonded with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint treatments.
We launch on Kickstarter on July 28, 2026. The first thousand backers get a limited Founders Edition in dark purple, numbered and never made again. Silver and space black will also be available.
If you have questions about DuoView Pro, just send me a message and I will answer you as soon as possible.
Your laptop is powerful. Your screen space isn't.
You can run the tools. You can handle the work. But on one screen, everything fights for space.
Without DuoView Pro
- Your work is buried under tabs, windows, and split screens.
- Calls, notes, chats, browsers, and tools fight for the same space.
- You lose context every time you switch, resize, or search for the right window.
- Your laptop has the power but your workspace still feels small.
With DuoView Pro
- Keep your main work in the center.
- Put the context around it: AI, notes, chat, calls, dashboards, references, previews, or docs.
- Work the way your brain actually works — with everything visible.
- Open your laptop and feel like your full desk setup came with you.
Less switching. More space. Better flow.
University of Utah research found multi-screen setups can improve productivity by up to 40%.
Not an attachment. A part of your setup.
Explore the form, finish, and details that make DuoView Pro feel like it belongs next to a premium laptop.
1 / 7
Built to feel like it belongs next to your laptop.
DuoView Pro is built from CNC-machined aluminum, finished with a premium anodized surface, and paired with optically bonded glass for a cleaner, sharper viewing experience.

Built by someone who needed it.
What began as Ruben's own problem became a premium portable workstation, engineered with Mango Product Design in the Netherlands.
I ran e-commerce businesses for years, often from airports, cafés, hotels, and temporary desks. My laptop was powerful enough for the work, but one screen always slowed me down.
I tried the portable monitor systems that were already out there. Some worked, but none felt like they belonged next to the laptop I was carrying. Too bulky. Too dim. Too much plastic. Too many compromises.
So I partnered with Mango Product Design in the Netherlands to build the setup I wanted myself: two real screens, a clean portable form, and a level of quality that feels right next to a premium laptop.
DuoView Pro is that setup. Built for people who work from anywhere and still need the clarity of a full desk.

Engineered with Mango Product Design
DuoView Pro was developed together with Mango Product Design, a product design and engineering studio based in the Netherlands.
Mango helped turn the idea into a real physical product: from industrial design and mechanical engineering to prototyping, testing, materials, hinge structure, and design for manufacturing.
Their team brings experience across industrial design, mechanical engineering, and product development, with multiple iF Design Awards in 2026, including Gold.
Together, we built DuoView Pro to feel premium, travel well, and perform reliably as a serious mobile workstation.
Industrial Design
Shape, proportions, materials, and product experience.
Mechanical Engineering
Hinge, structure, weight, thermal behavior, and durability.
Prototyping & Testing
Iterations, hands-on testing, improvements, and real hardware validation.
Design for Manufacturing
