I really am perplexed by all these folks claiming they can accomplish productive work on 12" or 13" notebook screens at a coffee shop, that is neither effective or productive for the type of work I do. In fact, my wife and I often day dream about working remote or being digital nomads (e.g. from the beach in Mexico for a month), but honestly neither one of us can fathom how we'd be productive on a small notebook screen for a month...

Yes, very happy. They have 4 inputs - if your computer supports 4 monitor outputs you can hook it up like that and treat each quadrant as its own screen. The disadvantage to this is you lose 4K, and things that would span two of the "screens" don't always line up perfectly.
I run them in 4K mode. With Win10, you can "snap" a window to each corner and it automatically sizes it to that quadrant. You still keep 4K this way, less cables, and more flexibility. It's a much better solution. DisplayPort is preferred for 4k 60hz mode.
My laptop driving 1 of them is a 13" screen. It's great for being light when on the road and basic email, etc. - but any time I am in an office I usually try to snag an extra monitor for the week. In hotel rooms, keep in mind you can HDMI out of most laptops into most TVs - boom - 2nd/larger screen.
I've also been looking at going to spend a month or two in Mexico and working remote through this. It's certainly doable on the price side - just need to get a few of my friends to also go and I'd be set. Again, the TV in a place would be the life saver as my 2nd screen.
