    I do enjoy seeing the interesting things Lenovo put together.

    Will these foldable or extendable screens for phones, tablets, and laptops be the next 3D TVs, I wonder? The extra expense for features people don't even end up using very often (or don't see huge value in for the day to day), now with the extra downside that the devices are often much harder to maintain or repair feels to me like a solid maybe. I am extremely out of touch though lol. In the same vein, are touchscreen laptops (or monitors?) for daily computing a feature people use?

    Anyway, I guess I just wonder if this is a flash in the pan or the next standard/standard-ish kind of feature.

    Devices like this that use foldable displays really show how much behind Apple is by now with innovation. It's been said they work on a foldable iPhone and iPad, but with a 2027 release date, they'll be even more behind by then.

    It's funny that Lenovo thinks this is what will sell laptops.

    If I had a chance to hands on this abomination, i'd load up a pic of longcat and then decide i've had enough of the quirk.

    Is there a mechanism sketch of this? Where is the screen unrolled from?

      Looking at the pictures, I would guess it isn’t actually rolled up but pushed into some storage area below the keyboard.

      Also, IMO, makes it more robust.
