In May 2026, Notebookcheck, one of the most widely read laptop and mobile hardware sites, covered the debut of the Single Flex Pro, the first Aura Displays portable monitor built around a foldable AMOLED panel. Senior tech writer Abid Ahsan Shanto walked through the hardware and gave a candid read on where the product sits in the market.
What caught Notebookcheck's attention
The idea is simple: a 13.3-inch screen that folds in half, so it packs down far smaller than a traditional portable monitor. Notebookcheck pointed to the high contrast and wide color coverage of the AMOLED panel (117% NTSC), the thin aluminum chassis, and a weight of about 1.57 lbs.
On connectivity, the article listed two USB-C ports, a mini HDMI port and a USB-A port, plus power delivery over a single USB-C cable. That one-cable setup is what makes a travel monitor practical day to day.
Where the coverage was more reserved
Notebookcheck did not simply cheer. It noted that the Single Flex Pro has no built-in kickstand, so it relies on a separate stand, and it argued that at this price a higher resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz or more would make the offer more compelling than the current 60Hz panel.
We think that is fair feedback. The Single Flex Pro is a first-generation product, designed for people who value a folding, bag-friendly form factor above raw specs, and reviews like this one help shape what comes next.
Why it matters
Foldable screens have mostly been a smartphone story so far. Coverage from a publication like Notebookcheck shows that a folding workspace for laptop users is now on the hardware press radar, along with the hard questions any new category has to answer.
