Laptops make it possible to work from anywhere, but the small screens can be a pain for those who need to hop between multiple applications or are used to having more than one monitor on their desks. “There’s only so much you can do on a 13-in. screen,” says Will Scuderi, co-founder of Espresso, maker of the Espresso Display (from $329). Made from aeronautical-grade aluminum and just 0.2 in. thick, the monitor easily slides into most any backpack and can turn a laptop, or even a smartphone, into a robust workstation. —Alison Van Houten
