It's great, because I never know if there will be a crash cart where I'm going. I would say that the only advantage to a crash cart would be that you could leave it attached and unattended without leaving your laptop behind. So, say if you needed a local facilities person to click "finish" for you or something like that, you could leave a crash cart attached. I've never run into a situation where I wish I had a crash cart instead of this console though. I suppose the other advantage to a crash cart is that it comes with it's own table. I've had to sit on the floor a few times with my laptop in a cage where the customer didn't have any furniture. **Q: Does it have a copy paste feature so I can copy text out of the kvm onto my windows laptop?** A: The display is a graphical representation so there is no text recognition. You could theoretically take a screen shot and send to OCR but I'm sure that's more than you'd like to deal with. **Q: I see this does not work with the current mac os, will it work with parallels or vmware?** A: The NOTECONS02 supports up to Mac OS 10.13.x. The limitation with later Mac OS versions is for our older NOTECONS01 model. Nick, StarTech.com Support. **Q: Is this a kvm over usb (like a kvm over ip) where i would be able to view and control a functioning laptop from a desktop** A: The host OS (windows) on system you plug this into (laptop/desktop) is Keyboard Video Mouse to any other system you connect this to. The KVM shows up in an application. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 26 June 2013* This is a great product for data centers and the like.Very easy to use just install the and your away.I would suggest getting a small vga extender to allow the adapter a bit more room so it can be placed on top of servers etc to reduce strain on the server vga connector. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely invaluable if you work on PC's professionally. Saves ... *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 November 2014* Absolutely invaluable if you work on PC's professionally. Saves carrying (or finding) a keyboard, mouse and monitor. Turns your laptop into all three. Very handy for instance for updating BIOS settings PC in one window, settings in another. I'm just waiting for them to come up with a wireless version, although I guess that would be easier to leave at a customer site!This is my second one so a word of caution - don't leave the USB lead plugged in while carrying around in your kit. The socket came of the board in the first one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 31 July 2015* Super piece of kit to have in the bag.Saves trying to look for a crash cart.Can also be used as just a keyboard/mouse when there's already a screen. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com Portable Laptop Crash Cart Adapter for Server Management, USB/VGA KVM Console, Windows/Linux/MacOS - TAA - StarTech.com 1080p 60Hz HDMI to VGA High Speed Display Adapter - Active HDMI to VGA (Male to Female) Video Converter for Laptop/PC/Monitor (HD2VGAE2) - StarTech.com DisplayPort To VGA Video Adapter Converter - Active - 1080p - DP to VGA Converter (DP2VGA2) Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/48688920-startech-portable-laptop-crash-cart-adapter-usb-vga-notecons01-usb](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/48688920-startech-portable-laptop-crash-cart-adapter-usb-vga-notecons01-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
