Acer introduced three mobile-display products at Computex 2026: the 15.6-inch PM161Q JB, the 12.3-inch PM131QT, and the 1.85-inch Aspire Badge wearable.
The push targets growing demand for extra screen space beyond a laptop’s single display, with both monitors using a single USB-C cable and supporting VESA or tripod mounting for work on the go.
The PM161Q JB offers a Full HD IPS panel, HDMI and dual USB-C ports, and an optional detachable pogo keyboard, while the PM131QT uses a 1920x720 ultrawide touchscreen and magnetic mounting for surfaces including car dashboards.
North America pricing starts at $149.99 for the PM161Q JB, $179.99 for the PM131QT, and $49.99 for the Aspire Badge; the monitors arrive in Q4 2026 there and in Australia in Q3 2026.
The Aspire Badge broadens the lineup beyond productivity, pairing over Bluetooth 6.0 to show phone-pushed images or animations and adding safety features including an emergency alarm, Morse-code SOS, and night flash mode.
With AI assistants booming, will Acer's niche touchscreen outsell its more conventional portable monitor?
Are Acer's specialized displays the future of computing or a stopgap until AR glasses mature?
