It won’t ship until 2020, but Lenovo has offered a quick preview of what it’s calling the world’s first foldable PC.
“We’re unveiling a preview and demo of the world’s first foldable PC,” the Lenovo announcement notes. “Made for highly-mobile, tech-savvy professionals who demand the best tools, the new foldable PC joins the premium ThinkPad X1 family, promising that the unprecedented portability will in no way compromise productivity and reliability. This is not a phone, tablet, or familiar hybrid; this is a full-fledged laptop with a foldable screen.”

<blockquote><em><a href="#428101">In reply to A_lurker:</a></em></blockquote><p>I think the best compromise between portability and productivity is a conventional laptop. I don't see any serious challenger that's likely to steal its crown for the foreseeable future. </p>
