Acer’s PM131QT portable monitor is a 12.3-inch touchscreen with magnetic mounting, a built-in kickstand, and 5-point touch – 1920 x 720 IPS screen has pogo pins for a keyboard, and is designed for secondary and “in-vehicle” use

Acer PM131QT.

Acer’s latest portable monitor looks to occupy a few niches – and at first glance, it might be a few too many. At a wide-but-narrow 1920 x 720 resolution, the PM131QT supports 5-point touch, a pogo pin keyboard (which Acer didn’t have on hand), and the company says it can be mounted with magnets, and is designed for “secondary and in-vehicle use.” It might be a good screen for media and map controls while on the go, and chats or data display at home under your main screen.

It’s early days here at Computex 2026, but the PM131QT is the most interesting portable monitor I’ve seen so far, in part because of its odd collection of features. Its squat form factor and kickstand make it well-suited to living under a primary desktop monitor for things like chats or at-a-glance data displays. And curiously, Acer has put pogo pins on the bottom for a keyboard, which might make it useful for plugging into a smartphone for some productivity work. But Acer didn’t have the keyboard available at the show.
