Or just buy a portable monitor (i.e. Asus Zenscreen).

It's bigger (15 inch), cheaper (less than $150), easier to use (just one USB-C cable).

And if we compare it to the Zenbook Duo, when your laptop becomes obsolete you can just buy any new laptop and still use your portable monitor.

I would also go with a portable monitor. Just keep in mind that a lot of them have quite low resolution, low brightness, poor colour accuracy and that some of them still need a power brick (if they require more than 15 watts).

My portable InnoCN 4k OLED disagrees.

I have the InnoCN OLED and I love it. I had to do a double take when I saw the price on Amazon and bought it immediately.

Same: it has touchscreen, EMR pen, it's portable, and comes with an easy to carry case- that's a steal at this price!

Is it the 15.6” model. Curious to know if it needs a power brick to deliver full brightness, and Aldi if it’s pentile?

"also" not "Aldi"

ViewSonic VX1655-4K-OLED, I don't have it yet, but it's not very expensive and should better than those not well-known brand.

Consumption (typical): 25w

So it’ll need a power brick to deliver 400 nits.

Both have their uses. Travelling with a tablet (in addition to a laptop) gets you a useful standalone device that's more portable than a laptop and better for certain tasks such as reading.

I have one, it is too much hustle to setup cable and tripod. I guess it is ok for longer stays (week+)

This laptop is a game changer.

There are some dual displays with integrated hinge. Uperfect delta.
