Both products let users interact directly with apps, documents, presentations, and creative projects through touch and stylus input.\n<\/p>\n<p>Alogic is one of the few monitor makers offering touchscreen hardware for Macs. The company uses its own software to enable touch gestures, navigation, annotation, and drawing on <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/inside\/macos\" title=\"macOS\" data-kpt=\"1\">macOS<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-anchor=\"the-aspekt-touch-27-adds-touchscreen-input-to-a-desktop-monitor\" id=\"the-aspekt-touch-27-adds-touchscreen-input-to-a-desktop-monitor\">The Aspekt Touch 27 adds touchscreen input to a desktop monitor<\/h2>\n<p>The Aspekt Touch 27 is a smaller version of Alogic&#8217;s existing 32-inch model. The new display combines a 27-inch 4K IPS touchscreen with a 60Hz refresh rate, 600 nits of brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and support for 97% of the DCI-P3 color space, 93% Adobe RGB, and 100% sRGB.\n<\/p>\n<p>Alogic pairs the display with its Active Stylus, which offers 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. The monitor supports 10-point multitouch input and MPP 2.0 styluses, while a magnetic holder wirelessly charges the stylus between uses.\n<\/p>\n<p>The monitor also functions as a docking station with HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C, Gigabit Ethernet, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Three USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, dual 5W speakers, and up to 150W of total charging output are built into the display, including up to 90W of USB-C power delivery for a connected laptop.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Aspekt Touch 27 is available in Silver and Space Black, and buyers can choose from a Raise Stand, a Fold Stand, or an Omni Fold Stand. The Fold Stand lowers the display into a drafting position for stylus use, while the Omni Fold Stand includes an integrated mount for an M4 <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/inside\/mac-mini\" title=\"Mac mini\" data-kpt=\"1\">Mac mini<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-anchor=\"folio-targets-portable-mac-and-ipad-workflows\" id=\"folio-targets-portable-mac-and-ipad-workflows\">Folio targets portable Mac and iPad workflows<\/h2>\n<p>Alogic also introduced the Folio and Folio Duo portable touchscreen displays for users who need a secondary screen away from a desk. The standard Folio features a 16-inch QHD IPS touchscreen, while the Folio Duo combines two 16-inch panels into a folding design that can be used side by side or stacked vertically.\n<\/p>\n<p>A fabric cover doubles as a stand and allows the displays to fold flat for travel.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"block align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/new-aspekt-touch-folio-displays-bring-touch-first-computing-to-macs.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/new-aspekt-touch-folio-displays-bring-touch-first-computing-to-macs.jpg\" alt=\"Laptop beside a dual stacked portable monitor displaying matching purple and pink abstract wave patterns, with the portable monitor propped on a stand in a clean white setting\" height=\"738\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive article-image\"><\/a><span class=\"image-caption\">The Folio Duo<\/span><\/div>\n<p>Both models deliver 400 nits of brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 100% sRGB color coverage. The displays support 10-point multitouch interaction, stylus input, and full gesture controls on both Mac and Windows.\n<\/p>\n<p>The portable displays operate over a single USB-C connection and support up to 45W of passthrough charging. A magnetic attachment point wirelessly charges the Active Stylus. The Folio weighs about 1 kilogram, while the dual-screen Folio Duo weighs about 1.2 kilograms.\n<\/p>\n<p>Alogic says the Folio lineup is the first portable display series to bring full gesture controls and 10-point multitouch support to both Mac and Windows. The company says users can draw, annotate, and edit content directly on screen without moving projects between a computer and tablet.\n<\/p>\n<p>Alogic has spent years targeting users who want touch and stylus input on macOS. The Aspekt Touch 27 and Folio lineup expand those options with both desktop and portable designs.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Aspekt Touch 27 starts at $1,799 and will be available beginning in July. The Folio is priced at $899, while the Folio Duo costs $1,299. Both portable displays are expected to launch around September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alogic is bringing more touch and stylus input options to Mac with a new desktop monitor and portable displays, expanding a lineup that adds a feature Apple doesn&#8217;t offer on its own hardware yet.
