I use dual monitors one on top of each other. If I had this I would simply stack 2 windows.
How expensive is it anyway isn't it just better to get a second monitor if you have to?
I mean, that demo model looks like a hot mess of ripples and artefacts from this angle.
Can you make it more ugly and prone to mechanical failure for no gain.
slaps screen
you can fit so much “AI” in this bad boy

Screen flashes in colors only a Mantis Shrimp can see before folding in half and going black...
And more expensive while you're at it, thanks.
Best we can do is never actually release it.
Put your pre-order in now!
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 !
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?
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.
Thank you for reminding me of Thinkpads. I'd like to track down a used or refurbished one for home use to survive kiddos
Meh I reckon 75% of that was IBM. I also had an ideapad that would survive literally nothing
They’re completely out of ideas.
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
I have an even better idea: A built in webcam that has more an 2 damn pixels
Short rolling demo from the article https://youtube.com/watch?v=ibpaLkvBXQY
Lenovo is really good at turning the coolest technology into absolutely useless laptops.
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.
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
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
Bring back the unfolding keyboard (and the gummy trackpoint). 😂
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?
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.
