According to a Forrester Research report last year, approximately 73 per cent of laptop owners owned at least two computers.

With two computers, people are seeking methods to keep their desktops free of extra peripherals and cables. They also want a more comfortable way to use their work laptop when they bring it home.

Belkin’s Flip is a neat little device that lets you use one full-sized analogue monitor and keyboard to access both your laptop and desktop computer.

Designed to help relieve laptop users from small displays and cramped keyboards while saving valuable desktop space, Belkin’s new Flip has been designed primarily to allow business professionals to bring home their work laptop and easily plug it into their home setup.

By simply pressing a small remote you can easily switch from one computer to the next. The remote stays on your desk while the base and cables remain hidden for a cleaner desktop.

The device will ship worldwide in early April and comes in three different models: Flip PS/2 (F1DF102P), $49.99 (£28); Flip PS/2 with Audio (F1DG102P), $59.99 (£35); Flip USB with Audio (F1DG102U), $59.99 (£35).

By allowing you to connect your old and new home computers, you can easily access files and programs using the same monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Flip also offers the added feature of letting you share one set of speakers between computers. Flip fully supports any combination of PC and Mac desktop and laptop.

It supports high video resolutions up to 2048x1536 pixels, features a 2-color LED that indicates which computer Flip is accessing, and comes with a Belkin 3-Year Warranty.
