What the fuck do you even do on a tall scree... Oh its basically a portable vertical monitor

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 days ago

I use dual monitors one on top of each other. If I had this I would simply stack 2 windows.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 1 points 6 days ago

How expensive is it anyway isn't it just better to get a second monitor if you have to?

[–] moopet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

I mean, that demo model looks like a hot mess of ripples and artefacts from this angle.

[–] seven_phone@lemmy.world 99 points 1 week ago (28 children)

Can you make it more ugly and prone to mechanical failure for no gain.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 78 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And more expensive while you're at it, thanks.

Best we can do is never actually release it.
Put your pre-order in now!

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I wouldn't say no gain. I would love that real estate on my bedside stand I use with physical disability. I would not want the sub 17" form factor and keyboard though. I struggle to do anything super technical without a second screen which is a pain in the ass. I can't sit at a desktop and the ergonomics of a laptop are unbeatable in my situation.

Bring back the trackpoint you bastards !

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

They didn't take the TrackPoint away, did they?!

Edit: They really did... Way to kill a brand guys. I blame every goddamn tech journalist who wanted it gone, fuck you so much.

Can they make laptops with hinges that don't break?

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

To be fair, Lenovo also made the ThinkPad. You could throw those down a flight of stairs and they wouldn't break

Source: I once dropped a thinkpad down a flight of stairs.

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Thank you for reminding me of Thinkpads. I'd like to track down a used or refurbished one for home use to survive kiddos

[–] amon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Meh I reckon 75% of that was IBM. I also had an ideapad that would survive literally nothing

They’re completely out of ideas.

[–] john89@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd be happy with a gaming laptop that doesn't have hinges that break.

I have a better idea: a laptop screen that is legible on a sunny day

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I have an even better idea: A built in webcam that has more an 2 damn pixels

Lenovo is really good at turning the coolest technology into absolutely useless laptops.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I want a laptop with a trackpoint, keyboard with good (like Model M) key travel and resistance (and water resilience too), color e-ink display (preferably 5:4 or 4:3 screen ratio) with good refresh rate, everything removable, 5G modem, GPIO, additional SSD slot, good set and amount of interfaces (not an Apple fan), and - important - chassis and hinges not made of shit.

Just in case somebody from Lenovo is lurking here.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

like Model M

Imagine a laptop with a low-profile buckling spring keyboard... just click-clacking away in Starbucks, annoying everyone around you but you don't care because you have the greatest keyboard ever

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not to mention it would weigh about 2kg more than a normal laptop due to the steel plates.

I totally wouldn't mind that. My daily driver keyboard is an XT Model F lmao

Bigger screen without bigger form factor?

Bring back the unfolding keyboard (and the gummy trackpoint). 😂

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How does that work on the software side? I guess you can only slide it out fully, will that part be black while it comes up and then your display automatically changes resolution?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Adaptive screen resolution? Maybe like how phones can auto rotate the image? But less annoying hopefully. Sounds like a future feature if this type of thing takes off.

Edit: Whatching the demo in the article, it looks like they're adding a screen when it's extended. Like having another monitor.
