AOC I1601FWUX vs ASUS ZenScreen Go MB16AWP: which one fits your build
The AOC I1601FWUX suits buyers wanting a name-brand portable monitor at a mid-range price and travelers prioritizing thin, light builds, though it is not built for gamers wanting high refresh rate and buyers needing a built-in battery. Buy the ASUS ZenScreen Go MB16AWP for content creators needing a tripod-mountable secondary display and ASUS loyalists who want extra flexibility over the base ZenScreen, though it is not the pick for gamers or anyone latency-sensitive who'll just use it wired anyway and iPhone users, since Miracast doesn't work with iOS. It also earns its place with presenters who want to cast from a phone or laptop wirelessly. Our rating of the AOC I1601FWUX (7.3/10): one of the thinnest, lightest 15.6-inch portable monitors around, from a brand with real panel-making pedigree. Our rating of the ASUS ZenScreen Go MB16AWP (7.1/10): A solid pick if wireless mirroring or tripod mounting actually matters to your workflow, otherwise the plain MB16AC is the better value.
