With less room to work, everything takes longer. Don\u2019t do that to yourself.<\/p>\n<p>While you can\u2019t slip a 27-inch screen in your luggage, a 15-inch one is completely portable. And if you choose the Espresso 15 Pro, you get an amazing one.<\/p>\n<p>So amazing you might use it all the time. That\u2019s because it can be the touchscreen Mac you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no surprise it was named a CES Innovation Award Honoree after being announced in January. The portable monitor just hit the market, so it can be ordered today.

id=\"figcaption_31739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\" style=\"border-color: #5f8129;\">The Espresso 15 Pro portable monitor makes a nearly perfect MacBook Pro companion.<br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic;font-size:11px\">Photo: Ed Hardy\/Cult of Mac<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Comments on some of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/reviews\/espresso-display-15\" data-lasso-id=\"1641741039\">the portable monitors I reviewed in the past<\/a> go something like, \u201c1080p? Ha! Come back when you have a 4K display.\u201d Well, here you go \u2014 the Espresso 15 Pro is 4K. To get technical, it\u2019s 4K UHD, which is 3840-by-2160 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio. That\u2019s the most common resolution for 4K TVs. And on a 15.6-inch monitor, that works out to be 284 pixels per inch.<\/p>\n<p>Beauty comes from more than high pixel density, though. The LCD displays 1.07 billion colors with 100% DCI-P3. That\u2019s top-tier performance. And its backlight also goes up to 550 nits \u2014 brighter than many rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the best way to talk up the portable monitor is by comparing it to a MacBook Pro. Espresso\u2019s LCD offers 284 pixels per inch, better than the 254 PPI of the Mac\u2019s LCD. And both have 10-bit color. A MacBook Pro comes out ahead in backlights, though, going up to 1,000 nits compared to Espresso\u2019s 550 nits. The Mac screen also wins in 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio vs. 1,500:1\u202f for Espresso. And finally, MBP goes up to 120Hz, while the third-party display is 60Hz.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s just specs. How does the screen look? Of course, this review included a side-by-side visual comparison, and the Espresso 15 Pro looks better than a MacBook. The higher dots per inch come through in crisper images. That said, I had to peer very closely to discern the difference, and I can\u2019t see a difference when looking at text on the two screens.<\/p>\n<p>What you want in a portable monitor is one that can match your MacBook\u2019s high quality closely enough that it\u2019s not jarring when you look back and forth between them. This one from Espresso easily meets that goal. It\u2019s stunning.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"touchscreenmac\">Your touchscreen Mac today<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"31739\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_31739\" class=\"wp-caption post-body-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"1641740977\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-896636 size-large\" title=\"Espresso 15 Pro touchscreen &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen-1440x926.jpg\" alt=\"espresso 15 Pro portable monitor includes a useful touchscreen\" width=\"780\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen-1440x926.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen-400x257.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen-768x494@2x.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen-350x225.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen-768x494.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen-1020x656.jpg.webp 1020w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen.jpg.webp 1560w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-touchscreen-400x257@2x.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_31739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\" style=\"border-color: #5f8129;\">To use the Espresso 15 Pro, just reach out with your finger \u2014 but not when it\u2019s connected to an iPad.<br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic;font-size:11px\">Photo: Ed Hardy\/Cult of Mac<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apple is reportedly working on a large computer with a touchscreen, either a MacBook or an iPad. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/6-reasons-a-touchscreen-macbook-makes-sense\" data-lasso-id=\"1641740882\">It is a logical next step<\/a>. But you don\u2019t have to wait. Connect an Espresso 15 Pro to your Mac and you have a macOS touchscreen tablet today.<\/p>\n<p>To test it out, I leaned back with the portable monitor held in my lap and clicked around on the web with just a touch of my finger. It was a bit like using an iPad \u2014 the biggest, highest-resolution iPad I\u2019d ever seen. I really enjoyed having all the screen real estate, as this 15.6-inch display offers a noticeable improvement over a 12.9-inch tablet.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the experience isn\u2019t perfect. Apple designed macOS to be controlled with a mouse and cursor, not a finger on a touchscreen. The same goes for third-party apps. Some of the icons, buttons, etc. you need to tap on are very small for a fingertip. That\u2019s why, when using the Espresso 15 Pro as a tablet, I kept a mouse or my MacBook positioned so I could do anything my finger was too chunky to easily handle.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also probably want to keep a keyboard nearby. macOS does not include an onscreen keyboard like iPadOS does.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you can annotate and draw on the touchscreen with the <a href=\"https:\/\/espres.so\/products\/espresso-pen\" data-lasso-id=\"1641740883\">espressoPen<\/a> (&#36;89), which offers 4,000-plus levels of pressure sensitivity. That includes working in full-featured creative applications like Adobe Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>I find the Espresso 15 Pro an ideal option for someone building a macOS sales terminal. You\u2019d have control of the user interface and could make everything fingertip-friendly, and employees could use it without ever needing to resort to a mouse\/trackpad.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, none of the touchscreen features work with iPad. But that\u2019s a limitation of iPadOS \u2014 I can\u2019t blame Espresso Displays.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"design\">Ready to go with you<\/h3>\n<p>Espresso Displays designed the 15 Pro to go where you go, and look great while doing so. Unlike many portable monitors, it\u2019s wrapped in aluminum, not plastic. The look is very professional \u2014 just what you want to use in front of important clients.<\/p>\n<p>The 15.6-inch LCD determines the overall size, as the screen bezels are relatively small. The whole device measures 14.1 inches by 8.8 inches by 0.4 inches. The unit weighs 1.75 pounds.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ports\">All USB-C<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll find a pair of USB-C ports on the right side of the Espresso 15 Pro. Plug one of these into your Mac for both power and data \u2014 no other cable is required. It\u2019s very convenient.<\/p>\n<p>Connect the second USB-C port to a charger and you can power both the external monitor and your MacBook or iPad.<\/p>\n<p>Note that there is no HDMI port. As an Apple user, you don\u2019t need one, but this matters if you\u2019re expecting to connect this display to something that requires HDMI.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"stand\">Take a stand with Espresso Stand+<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"31739\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_31739\" class=\"wp-caption post-body-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"1641740978\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-896643\" title=\"Espresso 15 Pro with Stand+ &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus-1440x516.jpg\" alt=\"espresso 15 Pro with Stand+\" width=\"780\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus-1440x516.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus-400x143.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus-768x275@2x.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus-350x125.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus-768x275.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus-1020x366.jpg.webp 1020w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus.jpg.webp 1559w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/espresso-15-Pro-stand-plus-400x143@2x.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_31739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\" style=\"border-color: #5f8129;\">You can set up Espresso Display\u2019s Stand+ in regular or extra tall mode.<br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic;font-size:11px\">Photo: Ed Hardy\/Cult of Mac<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My review of the portable monitor found that a highlight of the Espresso 15 Pro is the Stand+, a magnetic folding travel stand with a brilliant design. Any good stand holds your screen next to your notebook, but Stand+ can hold the display above your notebook.<\/p>\n<p>The all-metal accessory weighs 1.3 pounds, which is a noticeable extra weight when carrying your screen around. But it\u2019s necessary because you need strong support for the portable monitor. Flimsy isn\u2019t what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Connecting the 15 Pro to the Stand+ is as easy as putting the screen in place. Magnets hold them together tightly. No slipping, even when you tap the touchscreen. And because the connection is magnetic, you can easily change from a landscape to a portrait orientation.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the screen and stand look great together. Which is good, because they ship together. Stand+ is bundled with the Espresso 15 Pro.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"speakers\">Plus speakers<\/h3>\n<p>Espresso Displays built a pair of speakers into the portable monitor, but I\u2019ve yet to hear speakers built into any portable monitor made by any company that I\u2019d recommend. These are typical: a bit quiet.<\/p>\n<p>For this Espresso 15 Pro review, I tested them with a decibel meter, and the volume maxes out at around 60dB a couple of feet in front of the screen. That\u2019s enough for a quiet room \u2014 barely \u2014 but unsatisfying where there\u2019s much ambient noise.<\/p>\n<p>Just use the speakers in your MacBook or iPad, as those are much better.
