The KVM Console to USB 2.0 Portable Laptop Crash Cart Adapter from StarTech turns a notebook or netbook into a portable server crash cart, eliminating the need to carry around a large, heavy video screen, keyboard, and mouse. It delivers the VGA stream from any host computer to a laptop and emulates the laptop mouse and keyboard outputs for simple access and control of connected servers, PCs, or other headless devices.

The USB-powered adapter features a small-footprint design that requires no additional accessories to connect to servers, and requires no server-side software installation. In addition, the pocket-sized adapter draws power from the server-side USB connections, allowing the laptop/netbook to last longer without consuming battery power.

StarTech NOTECONS01 Reviews

Still have problems with resolution changes

Incredible help when working with physical servers, but the quite annoying resolution change bug still exists: every time the resolution/refresh rate changes (servers do this a LOT during POST/boot), the console outputs only garbage, and you have to reconnect the adapter more than a few times to get readable content. (Win10/Win11, with driver version 120.0918).

MacOS Big Sur software?
