- I recently got my hands on the new Espresso 17 Pro display, which is the ultimate portable display for macs. Here is my hands-on review!

This looks SO promising! But how do we get external power to this? Can we just use our iPad charger for example?
And what about the scaling? Does it scale 2x retina resolution like the built in display? 🐬
what is the name of the stand you used on your MacBook
Great review. Especially highlighting the charge pass through capability
What’s the large monitor behind you? Looks nice!
Is this monitor for movies or office productivity? Red I p s panels have better text legibility than oled
Hi, what's the name of the lamp on top of your monitor (the monitor behind you) - looks nice and would like to have one also.
Looks nice but 1k ? you can get an Oled one for way lower price
It looks reasonably nice but it is bit pity they were not able to fully remove the chin to have symmetrical bezels on all 4 sides (and keep it a bit slimmer around 7mm).
Although the folding stand looks awesome, the most disappointing thing is that there isn’t an integrated USB4 plug at the back of it (and maybe neat pogo-pins on the top part in a circle) to be able to transfer data and power the display through the stand : it would be very handy, as one of the folding stand could stay at home « permanently » and have a 2nd one on the go. It would also ease the process when back home : get out the display from the bag, and magnetically attach it to the stand and « voila » (no more cable to plug)
The Espresso 17 inch is the new one, and I have the OG 15 inch touch and it's a beast. The only beef I have about this is the cable port placement. It's perfect to use as a laptop companion, but it's also underrated for plugging in a Switch or an X-Box. But even better is the functionality with my iPad Pro. But sadly, this sits at home collecting dust because I work hybrid and there's no reason for me to use this anymore. And honestly, it's pretty overpriced. I paid about $500 for mine almost 2 years ago and I think it was a waste because you'll need the magnetic stand and the pencil to get full functionality for it, and at that point you're looking at $650.
Will it work with the MacBook Air in clamshell mode? Does the MacBook Air need to be plugged in?
Clamshell only works when plugged in
Hey Fernando, question: I never tried a 17 portable before, but I tried a native 1080p portable screen from Asus, and the text was too hard on my eyes (too small) I know MAC OS scales 4k displays to "looks like 1080p" by default which is what I want to keep it at, so I get the same real state while getting very sharp image and text but before pulling the trigger with the Esspreso 17, I would like to know if text is not too smoll on a 17.3 screen @ 1080p scale --thoughts? ...thanks!
I have a 14inch 1080p dell portable monitor. At native res the text is slightly a bit too small.
Though I'd imagine a 17inch 4k sampled down to 1080p would hit the sweet spot with text size.
Will it work with the iPhone, and if it does, can both be powered?
Does it have an HDMI port? If I could connect gaming consoles to it on the go then it’d be worth it
Hey @setokaiba5636! Our displays carry two USB-C ports. However, many of customers love pairing espresso Display with their Steam Deck for more screen space, using our espresso HDMI cable, which is sold separately.
🐬 waiting for mine to deliver in the next week or two.
Thanks for this, Fernando! You should ask Espresso to send the rest of the "Studio Bundle" pieces. The Charge won’t ship until January but maybe you can get a test unit to tell us what you experience. And I’m curious to see how "paper"like the Creator is (matte screen protector). As a 3D model software user, and live event production guy, I’m excited for what this can do for my world.
Has anyone else noticed that the volume has been quite low on the last 2 or 3 videos?
is it compatible with mac mini or studio?
We have many customers who use our displays with mac mini and mac studio - however, not all ports on the mac studio have a 'display out' so it's worth considering that with your setup. We'd love to have you on board with espresso 😁
If you had this in your laptop bag and the magnet from the stand, couldn't the magnet wipe out all your memory?
Does touch screen work with IPad Pro M1?
No it doesn't. The touch functionality doesn't work on the espresso Display via the iPad. Only dual-screen
Amazing that you can carry that screen in your backpack!
Bro. This is a portable monitor Apple would make. Do a video on this
SOTSU FlipAction Pro 16
Does anyone know if Jot works with Zoom’s Whiteboard?
Yes, Jot works with Zoom's Whiteboard on Mac. Just share your screen, and you can start to write overlays during the meeting using Jot. There is a lot of potential that folks are just starting to explore.
We don't get this in South Africa, only a 15.6" Asus one.
We now ship globally 😀
😂😂😂 $999??? No WAY JOSE! I mean, Fernando!
I was hoping for a 1440p version of this that would have a 120hz screen
Look nice but it is too small size with Streep price!
Brokies use Ipads,men use Espresso Displays.Make the change.I got the 15 inch and the 17 pro.Im even going on a date friday night because the waitress noticed my Espresso Display and wanted to know more about it.
Looks like a real panty dropper. That's the only reason I'm buying one.
The value, to me, hinges on how good that pen input is. Nobody seems to be focussing on that, and the espresso website mentions no specs for it. Which leads me to suspect that it's not very good, or at least not good enough to be a legitimate competitor to the current offerings from Apple, Wacom, Huion, etc that particularly focus on that aspect.
If it's got pen input that rivals Wacom, then the espresso pro is very well priced, and even offers a significant advantage with the single USB-C connection. If it's just a capacitive pen with no pressure sensitivity, then it's grossly OVER-priced.
this girl does a drawing based review of the older one - it looks promising! czcams.com/video/-zKmWC4III8/video.htmlsi=Ddz05MGQ6i9srG0p
The pen is awful. Yeah,...now you know. It has pressure sensitivity yes,....BUT......Microsoft Protocol Pen tech. BAD! Nice wobbly lines and the jaggies without even trying.
That magnetic stand should be on the ipad years ago!! Thats a cool feature!
🙌
There are a multitude of magnetic stands that you can get for the iPad to achieve the same functionality.
That pervy and patchy mustache though 😂
What does “protable” mean? Even autocorrect wouldn’t let me type it…
The stand you get folds down compact and the monitor is held up by magnets in the back
£1000? No way
Yeah dude I looked it up and I was like, what??? If I’m taking my Mac, then my portable screen is side car iPad
@@actionarslan100%
This video was a fail, out of touch if you think normal people can drop 1k on a portable monitor. We buy the cheap one, in case it breaks when we travel.
@@wizeguy2100 I think it's a possible purchase for some, but not for Apple users. An iPad with 120 Hz Pro Motion is more sensible and cheaper.
Yea true for that price I was hoping it would be an oled display
Hi, here 👋🏻 🐬
I dont like its 60hz i think 120hz should be the standard
Mac Mini + Espresso Display is cheaper than a comparable macbook and still fits in a bag… desktop in a bag >>> a laptop
$999? just buy an ipad pro and use it as an external display,
🐬
Sadly,..you don't mention how miserable the pen is for anyone wanting this for art or design. It uses the horrific Microsoft Pen Protocol which introduces the jagged and wobbly lines without even trying. What a DEAL KILLER!!!! If they would have used the Wacom tech in the stylus then this thing would be INCREDIBLE!
🐬x 1000
That chin and the price is...
i think the Monduo monitors look way better than this
So expensive…
$1,000? Heeeeell nah.
Looks nice but 1k for a 17" monitor? No way.
wacom's new 17 inch costs 2000 lol, dont forget this is a pen and touch screen too
For a 1080 299$ 👍🏻 however a 4K portable monitor for 999$ that ain’t a deal 👎🏻
Long story short M3 iMac is better value
Very portable and practical indeed. 😂
@@noyota even an m1 air is better value
How do I fit my iMac in my backpack?
lol just buy another Mac
