Espresso -displays are made by some of our loved ones Portable monitorsBut it still seemed to be a hole in his portfolio. This is due to the fact that, in addition to its flagship model – Espresso 17 Pro for $ 800 – other family members – a slightly more affordable tariff such as Espresso Touch 13 and $ 499.

- Great brightness
- Clay design
- One -brown connection

- It is expensive
- Stand+ rather heavy
- The update speed is limited to 60 Hz
Design and display
One of the things that I appreciate in espresso is that he is not trying to do too much. 15 Pro is equipped with an ultra with a minimalist design made of simple sheets of matte black aluminum, as well as glossy glass (if you prefer matte displays, you can always add one of the textured companies. Screen defenders) Of course, the monitor has a little chin, but in addition to two USB-C ports hidden in the corner, this is really the only external feature of 15 Pro, so I don't bother. In general, the display weighs 1 pound and 11 ounces, which sounds much harder than it.
As for its specifications, the Espresso 15 Pro 4K panel is delivered almost everything you want, and then some. The brightness reaches 550 NIT (in fact, it was 556 NIT in accordance with my light meter), which is higher than 450 NIT on a 17-inch model. It also covers 100 percent of the RGB Adobe RGB spectrum with a 10-bit color (8-bit + 2-bit frame rate control). The only thing I would like to turn on the espresso was the update speed of 120 Hz instead of limiting 60 Hz. Nevertheless, if you do not play or edit the video, this restriction cannot be a huge factor.
Installation and special functions
Getting 15 Pro Up and running cannot be easier. Each USB-C port has a sufficient bandwidth to wear power and data on one cable, so you just need to connect the attached cord, and you do not go out. The only exception is for laptops that cannot send a lot of power through USB-C, but I checked the monitor with 4 various laptops (both MAC and PC), and none of them had problems. The display even automatically uploaded Espressoflow software, which adds Touch support to your Apple laptops. You also get a new Glide function, which automatically positions the monitor in the right place, depending on how you are located next to your laptop. And thanks to some black magic 15, 15 Pro nailed him when he correctly laid out the monitor to the left of the built-in screen of my laptop.
As a person who has recently been forced to use the MAC for work, the ability to quickly and easily add the support of the Apple laptop is very good. And although I am far from digital deg, you can even use a display for drawing and sketches, as the monitor also works with the company Additional stylusThe field makes this 15 Pro as an ideal companion for both people who want more real estate screen or a portable way to create art on the go.
Accessories
In addition to the guards of the screen and handles, there are also several important accessories for 15 Pro. The first is 49 US dollarsWhich is rather a magnetic folding cover that protects the screen during a transit, which can also turn back to become a stand when you work. Like the display itself, this is a rather simple thing that does exactly what you expect.
However, for those who want something more significant, 15 Pro also works with Espresso $ 69 Stand+The field is more like what you will see on a traditional desktop monitor, except that it can develop to improve tolerance, as well as collect a really strong magnet, which allows the monitor in various positions to monitor. This thing can be too expensive for some, but I quickly grew up to evaluate how easily it makes 15 Pro in an ideal position. This is more well -built than I have a desktop monitor. The obvious drawback is that at 1 pound and 4 ounce the stand+ weighs almost the same as the display itself, which is quite huge.
Wrap
Espresso 15 Pro has almost everything that I am looking for in the premium portable monitor. It has much higher than average brightness, smooth, but strong design and super simple installation. It also comes with several special functions, such as Glide and added Touch support for Mac, which will help you get more from devices that you already have. And thanks to many accessories, this can adapt to almost any use.
Although I would like a higher renewal frequency, it was not far from the violator of the transaction. This will almost certainly increase its price, and given that 15 Pro is already somewhat expensive, starting with $ 699 for a monitor, and the stand+I'm not sure that additional costs will cost. Despite this, if you want a really portable monitor, which is also more than good enough to use at home, not many other displays that may correspond to Espresso 15 Pro.
