It seems that like it or not, folding screens are set to form a significant part of the future of portable technology. Admittedly, this has gotten off to a more than rocky start with the Samsung Galaxy Fold that reviewers ended up accidentally breaking due to a hardly intuitive design.
Following the release of a video, however, Lenovo seems to be jumping ahead in the laptop market by revealing a concept of a fully-working laptop with folding screen technology.
The concept, known as the Thinkpad X1 looks to form some sort of compromise between tablets and laptops with a 13.3″ display screen and a 2k display resolution. The main key item of focus, however, is clearly the folding screen which does appear to work really well.
Some of the key features listed by Lenovo include:
A folding laptop actually makes a lot more sense than a folding phone in many ways. Yes, technically a laptop already folds in half, but such a design could make them exceptionally more easy to carry around and, by proxy, a lot more portable.
While this is just a concept and changes are expected to some aspects (specifically the ports) Lenovo is expected to release this onto the market next year. It is, however, already a more than interesting design.
What do you think? Are you impressed with the design? In addition, will Lenovo be able to work out the bugs that Samsung had? – Let us know in the comments!
