espresso Displays, an Australian innovator of portable touchscreen technology, has today unveiled its next-generation innovation with the launch of espresso 17 Pro.
Designed to deliver pro-grade performance with features that are unrivalled in portable displays.
espresso 17 Pro sets a new benchmark for portable touch screens with 4K resolution, a 1 billion colour and 10 bit spectrum, 450 nits of brightness, and a unique touch-screen that introduces new ways to interact with your favourite applications. espresso 17 Pro works via a single USB-C connection with thousands of devices. Compatibility options are available for devices that do not support USB-C.
“espresso 17 Pro is meticulously crafted to support professionals and creatives who need to perform at their best, wherever their work takes them and whatever platforms they use,” says Will Scuderi, cofounder and CEO at espresso Displays. “Every aspect of espresso 17 Pro has been developed and refined to produce an unrivalled experience and helps people deliver their best work, whatever the task.”
Combining bold aesthetics with a sleek, lightweight design crafted from aerospace aluminium, espresso 17 Pro is fine-tuned for users seeking the best tools to support high-performance work across various environments, including corporate, production, creative, hybrid, and when travelling.
espresso 17 Pro has been developed based on thousands of hours of interviews, focus groups, and listening to the needs of professionals who perform in various sectors, including animators, artists, illustrators, content creators and producers, and business executives.
“We’ve listened intently to how people work today and where work trends are evolving. Our innovation responds directly to what we see and hear from our customers, partners, and collaborators, which is why our products do not sit within the confines of traditional tech product categories.” Scuderi adds.
espresso has re-engineered its touch screen software from the ground up, delivering enhanced and intuitive gesture controls to make Mac and Windows devices feel like they were designed to integrate with espresso’s touch features. The result is a smooth experience that supports pro-level drawing and creative touchscreen functions.
Introducing ‘Jot by espresso’ which will connect workflows with new touch software, unleashing the full potential of using a pen to interact with touchscreens. Jot creates a seamless note-taking and drawing experience that is compatible with hundreds of desktop and web-based applications. Activated with a simple pen click or keyboard shortcut, Jot becomes your helpful personal content and creativity utility to capture, cut, save, and drop on-screen content between any app, window, or document. Create a blank canvas, take screenshots and mark them up, or insert a sketch into any application like presentations, written documents, or creative projects.
Jot is like a digital sketch pad that sits over the top of a desktop environment, allowing you to sketch, take notes, and transfer content seamlessly. Jot will be available to all 17 Pro customers as a free download.
espresso 17 Pro will launch with a range of custom accessories, including a new portable stand that secures magnetically to the rear of the display. The adjustable espresso Stand Pro allows for work at various angles and heights, including portrait and landscape modes. Optimised for drawing and sketching, Stand Pro can be set securely to an 18-degree angle with a purple accented built-in kick-stand.
espresso Creator, a paper-esque screen protective adhesive layer for the 17 Pro will also be available, ensuring comfort and a smooth writing and drawing experience.
Available as an additional accessory, Case 17 is a folio-style protector and kick-stand designed to attach to 17 Pro via magnets.
Supercharge your espresso 17 Pro, providing all-day standalone power, espresso Charge is the first battery pack from espresso Displays. Charge is custom-shaped to fit flush beneath Stand Pro, elevating the 17 Pro to a taller position. When used with espressoFlow, users can dynamically switch charging direction between their device and Charge, and monitor battery consumption and diagnostics via an updated power tracking dashboard. At 27,000mAh / 99wH, Charge is perfect for travel and complies with international aviation standards for luggage.
