Tech that: Espresso Display: the world’s thinnest portable monitor
The thinnest portable monitor for creatives and professionals, according to its manufacturer.
Available from espres.so
RRP: From £299
What is it? Espresso Display claims to be the world’s thinnest portable monitor for creatives and professionals.
Plus points
- The design of this is excellent. It’s so thin and made of brushed metal. It wouldn’t be out of place in any Apple promotional material.
- This has to be one of the easiest set-ups ever. One cable does it all. Just plug the screen into your existing laptop or desktop.
- You have the option to buy a touch-screen variant with a stylus. Perfect for users of graphic design software.
- An optional stand and stylus for the screen are mounted using magnets.
- The monitor comes with its own software called Espresso Flow, where you can manage your workspaces, snap apps to different parts of the screen and adjust colour settings.
Nil points
- Since this monitor is geared towards creatives, I think a less glossy screen would have been better.
- I found that the screen wasn’t as bright as the Mac it was plugged into.
- Using Espresso isn’t ideal with a desktop computer as they’re generally larger than the screen itself, which looks strange.
- The optional accessories are great, but I wish at the very least that a stand was included in the box.
Rating: ✡✡✡
Verdict: For people working on the go, in airport lounges, coffee shops or hybrid spaces, the Espresso display can be a game changer in terms of portability and ease of use.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
