Apple has yet to ship a MacBook or an external display with a touchscreen, but Alogic keeps pushing ahead anyway. The Australian monitor maker — one of the very few companies that builds touch-enabled monitors specifically designed to work with macOS — debuted a sweeping new product lineup last week at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas.
Something for everyone: Alogic expands touchscreen display lineup for Mac
Alogic‘s new touchscreen displays unveiled at InfoComm 2026 include Aspekt Touch 27-inch, enormous Fokus commercial displays and Folio portable touchscreen monitors. The new products span a wide range of use cases and price points. They give Mac users more options than ever to add touch and stylus interaction to their setups.
Why this matters for Mac users
Apple has spent years deflecting questions about touchscreen Macs, though rumors have picked up steam lately around a rumored “MacBook Ultra” that some reports suggest could arrive in late 2026 or early 2027. In the meantime, Alogic occupies a genuine gap. Its displays let Mac users reach out and interact with content directly — annotating PDFs, sketching in Procreate or Concepts, navigating Figma — in ways that a mouse or trackpad simply don’t replicate.
None of this comes cheap. But for Mac users who want touch input today — rather than waiting on Apple — Alogic continues to build the most complete lineup on the market.
What Alogic actually does differently for Mac
Many touchscreen monitors on the market treat macOS as an afterthought. Plug them into a Mac and they function as a standard display — no touch input at all. Alogic takes a different approach, bundling proprietary software that enables multitouch gestures, navigation, annotation and stylus drawing on macOS. The result is a display that behaves more like an iPad Pro than a passive external monitor.
The company has built on this foundation with each successive product generation, and the 2026 lineup extends it further with a new 27-inch desktop display, an enterprise-grade large-format series, and the first portable touchscreen monitors it claims deliver full gesture controls on both Mac and Windows.
Aspekt Touch 27 inch: A smaller take on a popular formula
The new Aspekt Touch 27 inch slots in beneath the existing, well-reviewed Aspekt Touch 32 inch. The 27-inch model packs a 4K IPS panel with 10-point multitouch input, 600 nits peak brightness (HDR mode), a 1000:1 contrast ratio, coverage of 97% of the DCI-P3 color space, 93% Adobe RGB and 100% sRGB — figures that hold up well for photo editing and design work.
Like the 32 inch before it, Aspekt Touch 27 inch doubles as a docking station. It accepts connections via HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C. And it pushes up to 90 watts of power delivery to a connected MacBook — enough to keep a MacBook Pro running even under heavy load. The integrated hub also includes USB-C and USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Alogic’s Active Stylus, which offers 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity and charges wirelessly in a magnetic holder on the display, pairs with the monitor for drawing and annotation work.
Stand options worth knowing about
Alogic gives buyers three stand configurations for the Aspekt Touch 27 inch, and the choice matters:
- Raise Stand is a conventional height-adjustable option.
- Fold Stand tilts the display nearly flat, converting the monitor into a drafting-board-style workspace ideal for stylus use.
- Omni Fold Stand does everything the Fold Stand does, but adds a built-in cradle designed for the Mac mini M4 at the base. The cradle keeps the Mac mini’s ports accessible even when the display folds forward, and it tucks the computer out of the way without hiding it entirely.
The Aspekt Touch 27 inch launches in July in Silver and Space Black. Pricing starts at $1,799, with the stand choice affecting the final cost.
Folio and Folio Duo: Portable touchscreens for MacBook users on the go
The most interesting new arrivals for everyday Mac users may be the Folio portable displays. Many portable monitors exist, but Alogic says the Folio lineup represents the first portable display series to deliver full gesture controls and 10-point multitouch on both Mac and Windows.
The standard Folio packs a single 16-inch QHD (2,560 × 1,440) IPS touchscreen into a travel-friendly form factor that weighs roughly 1 kilogram. It connects over a single USB-C cable and supports up to 45W of passthrough charging for a connected MacBook. A fabric cover folds into a stand, so no separate stand accessory is needed. It priced at $899 and launches in September.
The Folio Duo doubles that with two 16-inch panels in a folding form factor. Users can orient the two screens stacked vertically or rotate the whole unit 90 degrees to place them side by side in landscape. At roughly 2.6 pounds, it remains portable despite the extra display. The Folio Duo costs $1,299 and also arrives in September.
Both Folio models deliver 400 nits of brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 100% sRGB coverage. And both support stylus input via a magnetic attachment point that wirelessly charges Alogic’s Active Stylus
Fokus series: Large-format touch for classrooms and conference rooms
The Fokus lineup targets collaborative professional environments — classrooms, boardrooms and creative studios — with three 4K touchscreen displays measuring 43 inches, 55 inches and 65 inches. Each supports multitouch input and works with Alogic’s Active Stylus, giving presenters and educators the ability to annotate and draw directly on the screen.
On pricing, the 43-inch model runs $2,799, the 55 inch hits $3,299, and the 65 inch tops out at $3,999. All three models launch in September. For organizations already invested in macOS workflows, Fokus displays offer a way to bring touch-based collaboration to large shared screens without abandoning the Mac ecosystem.
Where Alogic Active Stylus fits in
Alogic’s Active Stylus works across its entire current touchscreen lineup. The pen supports 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity and MPP 2.0, charges wirelessly when attached to any of the new displays, and sells separately for $149 — also available starting next month alongside the Aspekt Touch 27 inch.
That’s a notable step up from the existing Clarity Active Stylus Pen 2, which the Macworld review noted carries a $119.99 price tag, suggesting the new model adds wireless charging as a standard feature.
