A new design direction for laptops promises to make them easier to carry.
By Geoffrey A. Fowler Geoffrey A. Fowler Technology columnist based in San Francisco Email Bio Follow May 13 at 6:30 PM The folding-screen trend just leaped from phones to laptops.
Watching a laptop fold in the middle of its screen makes you do a double-take. Laid flat, Lenovo’s device is a 13.3-inch tablet running Microsoft Windows. Fold it halfway, and you can set it upright on a table like a tiny clamshell laptop. Hold it folded in your hands, and it’s like an electronic book. Fold it all the way and it’s the shape of an old-timey folio, the kind people have long used as a work calendar or diary — covered in leather, to boot.
Lenovo's folding-screen ThinkPad transforms from a flat tablet into a clamshell laptop. Typing poses a bit of a challenge. When the laptop is sitting upright at a 90-degree angle, you could type on the part of the screen that’s flat, but screen typing isn’t a very pleasurable experience. Lenovo plans to sell the laptop with a wireless keyboard and pen you could carry with you. It also has 2 USB-C ports you can use to plug it into a workstation with a standard laptop and mouse.
