Lenovo Unveils World's First Foldable PC
When to fold
Lenovo got something new for you.
It doesn't have a name (but it'll be in the ThinkPad X1 family), it doesn't have a spec (but it's using an Intel processor), it doesn't have an operating system ("Windows" but, not specifically "Windows 10"), it doesn't have a release date more specific than "2020," and of course it doesn't have a price. But these are I suppose minor details. The big picture: Lenovo has built a laptop with a folding 13.3-inch OLED 1920×1440 screen made by LG. The screen occupies both halves of the laptop's interior space, including where the keyboard would normally go, and the machine can be folded open to turn it into a flat 13-inch screen that you'd frankly never guess could fold.
all want access to a large comfortable screen even on the go, but travel can make this inconvenient or impossible. Never mind that remote work increased 140 percent from 2008 to 2016, with more and more employees taking time-sensitive, media-intensive projects with them everywhere. In the past, a 13.3-inch screen on a laptop demanded that the device stay at that same size footprint —not so with this single OLED 2K display made in collaboration with LG Display® that can fold in half and reduce its width by 50 percent. Intel®-powered with Windows®, the foldable ThinkPad can transition with users from day to night:
Wake up, fold it into a book, and start the day scanning your social media feeds in bed.2
Walk to your kitchen, unfold it, and stand it up for hands-free viewing of your top news sites.2
Hit your commute on the bus or train and morph it into a clamshell to catch up on emails.2
Get into the office, dock it into your multi-monitor setup and get to work.
Go into meetings, take notes with its pen, and write on a full screen tablet.
After lunch, set up the stand and use its mechanical keyboard to type out a few work emails.2
Come home at night, open it up and stream your favorite shows.2
Relax in bed, fold it in half and enjoy your latest read before going to sleep.
This space-saving ThinkPad combines laptop productivity with smartphone portability to fold into your lifestyle like never before. Stay tuned for full product details and availability in 2020. We can’t wait to show you more.
