    I too have used them - for a week, on a course. Was skeptical at first, but after grabbing a pdf and pushing it around the screen in quick circles, then putting on a youtube video and it played perfect.

    I was very impressed, and it was usb2. If your work involves graphic card GPU processing and on the fly colour shading - like many games do, then I would avold it, but if your cpu does all the work and the GPU is mostly idle, it could be a good and very cheap solution.
