Arctic Z2 Pro Review

Today’s product, to the untrained eye will look like “just another monitor stand”.  But, that is so far from the truth!  The Z2 Pro also includes a USB 3.0 hub that will support four devices.  The arms are great for making life easy in adjustments to fit your individual needs especially for those that share a computer.  Its assembly is very easy to do, and the instructions are very clear.  This makes it also appeal to those of us who may travel and need to set up multiple screens for presentations or even a LAN party.  As easy as it is to put together, it is that easy to disassemble and put away for the next use.  Each arm supports 13” to 27”.  The product is very durable and sits firmly once the clamp is in place.  The arms adjust with ease to change the screen angles.  It is in my opinion, a very well-made product.  But how well did we rate it?  What is the RRP? Where can you get it?  Read on!

Conclusion:

The Arctic Z2 Pro lives up to all of its promises.  I really struggle to find fault with it.  It does what I would expect from a dual mount monitor stand and then gives me a USB 3.0 hub for four devices.  The price is reasonable as well.  I have seen monitor mounts for just one monitor retail around £65.  So this one mounting two and having the USB hub, that is great value for money in our opinion.  Research of the price on Spire and GNR rather than Amazon, you could make around a 17% profit. So, if a customer comes in saying it is £83.00 on Amazon you can get it cheaper from Spire or GNR and match Amazon but still make a profit. 

 

Pros:

  • Attractive packaging

  • Packaging is clearly marked

  • Instructions easy to follow

  • Well packaged

  • Easy to assemble and disassemble

  • USB 3.0 hub for four devices

  • Very sturdy built

 

Cons: 

 

n/a

 

 

Mentionable but nothing to scream about:

If I may suggest, maybe have the outer packaging have a wow factor.  It looks nice and clean as it is but, I can’t help but think some art design to make it stand out would not go amiss. 

 

Scoring :

Packaging:       4

Value:               5

Ease Of Build:  5

Build Quality:  5

 

That being said I award this product a TFT Platinum award for quality and excellence.  Well done Arctic!
