“Can I Just Use My Laptop?” — The Real Test of Any Meeting Room

steigenbergeralsikhotelspa-49

We’ve all been there. You walk into a meeting room, open your laptop, and suddenly… you’re on a scavenger hunt.

Where’s the HDMI cable?
Where’s the USB-C cable?
How do I share my screen?

Minutes tick by, focus slips, and the meeting starts off with friction instead of flow.

Here’s the reality: people bring their own laptops because it’s what they trust.

They know their device.
They know how it works.
They don’t want to fumble with unfamiliar systems.

That’s why it’s not just about beautiful AV design or the most advanced room tech. You could have it all — a touch panel, wireless sharing, DSP-tuned audio, a powerful room PC — but the moment someone says:

“Can I just use my laptop?”

…your system either works with them or works against them.

Because today, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) isn’t a feature — it’s a habit.

And if your system doesn’t support that habit? It gets skipped, ignored, or bypassed.

So ask yourself:

If I walked into this room with my laptop… would I trust it to just work?

If the answer is no, it’s not the user’s fault — the system wasn’t designed for them.

And that’s where Arthur Holm’s DB2Share comes in —

The sleek, intuitive solution that makes BYOD effortless.

The DB2Share is a beautiful, fully retractable aluminum monitor with a vertical motorized lift and a smooth 20° automatic tilt, offering the perfect viewing angle and ergonomic comfort. But it’s more than just elegant design — it’s functional brilliance:

✅ Built-in retractable HDMI or USB-C cable
✅ Touch-sensitive input selection directly on the glass (3 video inputs) and one sharing button (with the option of Priority for the chairman)
✅ Audio playback through the motorized  Arthur Holm speakers

Everything stays hidden within the table when not in use, preserving a clean, professional look — and ensuring the room is always ready for the next presentation.

No confusion. No delays. Just plug in and go.

Because when the tech disappears into the background, the ideas take center stage.
