Sidestone uses an iPad Pro as an external display for Windows, Mac, or Linux computers, with USB-C or Wi-Fi connection.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-31 issue.

For: iPad Pro owners needing a desktop-side display
Worth noticing: The three-day trial starts on the first connection, not when the iPad app is installed.
