Espresso Displays has revealed its next generation portable touchscreen display, the Espresso 17 Pro, with an array of new features detailed in a showcase video. Much like its predecessor – the excellent Espresso Display 15 Touch – this handy device can server as a second screen on the go, but there’s also a number of improvements arriving with this model.
As detailed, the Espresso 17 Pro will include a touch screen with a 4K resolution, 450 nits of brightness, and a “1 billion colour and 10-bit spectrum”, which should make the display brighter and more dynamic. In the GamesHub review of the Display 15 Touch, we called out its lack of definition as a relative disappointment, so it’s great to see this addressed in the new model.
Other improvements for the 17 Pro include a refreshed, lightweight design, and a complete overhaul of the Espresso touchscreen software, which will now include gesture controls and easier manipulation. There are also new sensitivity features, which are designed to support “pro-level drawing and creative touchscreen functions.”

The Espresso 17 Pro will also introduce a new software known as Jot, which allows for easier note-taking and drawing, for those looking to use the touchscreen display as a form of digital sketch pad.
These features are supported by an array of new accessories, including a redesigned portable stand, a new folio-style case, a “Creator” screen protector for a smoother drawing experience, and a brand-new portable Charge battery that can be used in tandem with a laptop or other device to “dynamically switch charging direction”.
