- Alogic Folio Duo offers dual-QHD portable monitor setup that works with both MacBooks and Windows-based laptops
- It is one of the first portable displays to offer full gesture control and 10-point multitouch on both Mac and Windows
- The Folio Duo also offers users the ability to charge their laptops on the go with 45W of USB-C passthrough
Portable monitors are hardly a new concept, with most products offering a sizeable upgrade in screen size, resolution, or both compared to the desktops, laptops, or MacBooks they connect to.
However some, like the Alogic Folio Duo, kick things up a notch while doubling the screen real estate, and its foldable design, coupled with an integrated cover stand, makes for a much easier-to-deploy and carry solution than many of its peers.
With a dual-QHD configuration coupled with a 400-nit display, the Folio Duo outdoes many of the devices it will inevitably be attached to, and considerably so, while weighing approximately 1.2kg.
A premium portable dual-monitor offering
The Alogic Folio Duo first appeared at InfoComm 2026, pitched as a premium dual-monitor offering for professionals who simply need more screen space without adding as much of a volumetric footprint as some of its peers.
Alogic's offering features dual IPS panels rated for 100% sRGB color accuracy, with a native resolution of 2560x2880 (or 2560x1440 per display). Prospective gamers, however, might be disappointed with the relatively tame 60Hz refresh rate, but one could argue that most would not be looking for a portable dual-monitor setup to begin with.
Like most of its peers, the Folio Duo offers USB-C connectivity but kicks things up a notch by adding USB-PD input for an optional power source and a USB-C port for the device it connects to, allowing it to charge a MacBook or Windows laptop up to 45W via USB-C passthrough.
Alogic offers a generous 2-year warranty for the unit and lists device compatibility that includes Apple, Chromebook, and Microsoft devices, with the package including a monitor cover in the box, while skipping the pressure-sensitive Active Style the company sells, even as it integrates wireless charging into the package.
The fact that it is one of the first portable dual-display offerings to support full gesture control and 10-point multitouch on both Mac and Windows might underscore the ambitious price the portable monitor currently commands: a whopping $1,299, which makes it rival the recently repriced 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air (M5), a full-fledged computer.
For those who can afford it, however, the Folio Duo seems to be a premium portable dual-monitor offering with significantly higher resolution (and PPI), color, and build quality than the UPerfect Delta Max Touch we recently reviewed, albeit at more than twice the asking price.
