Why Buy a Premium Portable Monitor Anyway?

‍The best tools are seamless and don’t compromise your performance.

If you care about what you do, invest in how you work, and you work from more than one location, you have likely explored the world of premium tech accessories for your laptop. 

A good mouse, keyboard, carry bag, laptop case, cables - a lot to consider. But the most obvious upgrade can often be staring us in the face - more screen space!

Portable monitors experienced a boom during COVID. That timeframe forced many people to rethink how they worked at home. Desk-side lighting, keyboards and mouses, viewing angles and ergonomic seating or desks - everything and anything to improve working from a laptop. Monitors also received a lot of attention.

The fact is, in 2025, a single laptop is sub-par for any extended period of work, especially for professionals who travel. Tech has moved on and evolved significantly since COVID. Portable monitors are no longer a single SKU product category; there are options, and the market is very mixed on value and performance. That’s where pro-grade portable monitors come into the mix, like espresso Pro 17 and espresso Pro 15. 

A premium portable monitor like the espresso Pro 15 belongs in that same league. A range built to provide a full professional desk space or studio-like experience for work in any environment.

Performance should travel with you

Work doesn’t stop for travel, coffee breaks, or delayed flights, so the ability to bring a professional-grade workspace with you anywhere is a necessity. The espresso Pro range is designed for just that, offering incredible display performance in a slim format to slide into your bag. 

A perfect match for premium gear

If you use a MacBook Pro, an M-series iPad, or a top-tier Windows laptop, you expect your accessories to keep up. The Pro 15 for example does just that. With 550 nits of brightness and full Adobe RGB coverage (from a single cable), it’s designed to meet the standards of professionals who care about precision and quality across their entire toolkit. For a pro-grade setup, consistency counts.

Comfort and performance

With the espresso Stand+ or Stand+ Pro, you can tilt, rotate, and position your display just like you would at your main desk… only now, you can do it from anywhere. Combined with espressoFlow software for multi-display management and macOS/Windows touch support, your setup adapts to you.

One cable. More potential.

Simplicity is meaningful when it's baked in with efficiency and helps you to achieve more with less distractions. With the espresso Pro 15, a single USB-C cable powers everything: 4K resolution, ultra-bright visuals, and responsive touch. That means less setup, less clutter, and more time spent in your flow state.

Your time, focus and performance is the biggest value-add

When you invest in premium tools, you’re not just buying hardware. You’re backing your own time, focus, and ability to deliver at your best. The espresso Pro 15 isn’t just a screen. It’s a performance multiplier when added to your setup.
