    14/15 inch would be better for me. Hope Lenovo will release something like this next year.

    Foldable screen without hinge that could be interesting

    While this looks like a really cool idea. It looked really laggy in the demo and the windows touchscreen/multitouch/keyboard are notoriously terrible. I wouldnt drop 2+k on something that is lagging and is this buggy out of the box is a hard sell.

    I really like it but it has some kinks that need to be ironed out in my opinion. I’m also nervous about durability. If one of those screens goes, the entire laptop is unuseable

      I agree, but then again that’s the same deal for any laptop right? If a screen goes… the whole thing is unuseable.

    It is obvious that it needs some adjustments and tweaks. But this is the future of portable computing (unless you wanna go VR, of course)

    My kids saved all their $ to get an all-in-one Lenovo desktop/monitor. After a few updates the touchscreen stopped working. They said it’s a Windows issue. Gee thanks 😂

      That’s what those morons get for buying a Lenovo all in one😂.

    This has been in the works for about a year now, and it feels like a mess.
    It goes to show how crappy Lenovo is as a brand. I’m passing on this. There will be others doing it better.

    useless product

    Keeps saying no keyboard but it comes with a keyboard and you’re showing a keyboard in the video

    One thing I find I use my laptop for a lot as a laptop is taking it into meetings. I think this form factor needs an option that would be a good fit for sitting down at a table with a bunch of other people where do you have to look over the monitor. Even a traditional laptop often in that scenario you have to tilt the screen way forward so that you can look people in the eye across from you.

      in the early versions of this product (so probably in the full release too) you could bend the screen toward each other like every other laptop that has a tent tablet mode. then you’d have 1 screen facing you and another facing the other way. this could also be used for presentations as you could control the screen facing the audience on the screen facing you.

    Well it took about 17 years of laptops being in existence before we got a trackpad, it took 10 more years to get the trackpad right, and no laptop had a decent screen for the first almost 40 years they were a product, as a matter of fact laptops wasn’t until 2005 30 years after the first laptop was made that laptops out sold desktops. Besides the tablet this is the first new form factor for a laptop since the Mac Powerbook 500 in 1994. Think of how many years it took the iPad to figure out how to be a laptop. This thing’s in the beginning it’ll take a while to sort out.

    Absolutely love mine. Dual screens is a must in my line of work

    Would love to see Samsung’s version of this, WITHOUT the hinge blocking out portions of the screen like on this model.

  17. Raymond Thornton

    August 7, 2023 at 4:05 pm

    I’d prefer one HUGE screen with no seperating hinge visible. Maybe Samsung will release something like that in the future?

    Actually, it kind of is for everyone. Once you try it, you’ll be hooked. I absolutely love mine. I do wish that the included stand were adjustable. When side-by-side, I find the angle isn’t ideal.

    I like the 4k version of the lenovo laptop but I wish there was an option for mini led since most laptop displays are too dim. Every device that I use with an oled display already have burn in issues, its why I prefer to have mini led due to its high brightness and no burn in issues. My sony xperia 1 iv android phone with it’s 120 hz oled display already has burn in but luckily the display has not lost its display brightness over time like my pixel 4a 5g since my pixel 4a 5g has burn in and it’s display brightness got dimmer over time. My 2022 razer with it’s 4k 144 hz ips display is too dim, samsung chromebook with it’s 4k super amoled display is too dim. My sony phone is brighter than my gaming laptop and chromebook.

    I wonder if it is possible for manufacturer to make a full haptic bottom screen so that you can press down on the virtue keyboard and trackpad. That would be awesome.

    And yet the laptop is STILL out of stock right now on Lenovo’s website and on Best Buy

    Meh. For $2K, I’d rather get a full-size laptop with the latest gen hardware.

    And, as usual for Lenovo, they’re “coming soon” on their website. Again. Just like the long delayed (probably vaporware at this point) X1 Fold. What’s the point of pushing a product on social when there’s none to buy?

  25. Irony

    Wish they made more so we can purchase it.

    This is a dream for any computer programmer. It’s fairly useless unless you need the second monitor, though. There are better spec’d machines for the price.
