Think about what happens when your small hard stylus goes over the highly vulnerable centerline of the screen.

Seriously what the fuck is the purpose of this thing? it sucks as a laptop because it's so flimsy and has no keyboard and it sucks as a tablet because of how large it is

This is the only use I see of it.
>Use it like a regular laptop
>Unfold it to watch a movie with a bigger screen.

Used it, have you?

fucking beautiful

I sure love when things take twice the space they need to

so what's the point of this thing?

?

they say it clearly in the video: it's for executives, not for code monkeys

There's a built in keyboard for autists such as yourself.

no executive walks around with things like this, unless it has hdmi to show of their powerpoint presentations

Despite the image I'm guessing it will have two screens.

What use does this have for an executive?

you can unfold it, put it on the table with its kickstand, and do your presentation right there

>VGA
ftfy

Travel and posing, obviously.

executive thihgs. you wouldn't understand

nigga, what

oh such a revolution... lol

If it's for bling they'd rather pull out their latest aplel product

>Lenovo announces a great foldable PC

Cope.

I like the size, it would be awesome to read textbooks in it.

Gay.

>foldable tablets

>corporate
>iShit
unless it's some clueless faggot business, this would be detrimental for the company's goodwill

Harvesting money from literal retards.

I don't see why, except for
>muh pholding
But that's the new fad, someone was bound to make something like this
Seems crazy to put it in the Thinkpad line, should have separate branding.

Maybe call it Microsoft Courier instead? :^)

your wallet

This has to be the dumbest piece of tech ever conceived
>inb4 it is accepted and basically becomes a standard format in 5 years time.

Why is it "dumb"? Literally every reviewer has praised it.

Why And for what?

Why do you think it is dumb?

What makes a laptop not a foldable pc?

check out the hands-on review..looks pretty slick. I would get this.

All materials wear out when deformed repeatedly including screens
touch screen keyboards are cancer
and its to small

>Foldable Thinkpad
Weird flex, but the high end market might like it.

Cringe

Fake and gay

now you can close your tablet and never use it forever.

Could be nice as a book reader since it can display 2 pages at comfortable size. Actual laptop usage would suck though and I'd probably carry about a physical keyboard, again, like a tablet.

Displayport.

I dont see the point. Just seems really gimmicky. Applels would buy it for sure cause they like new toys but this thing shouldnt exist. Fuck shills fuck "tech" youtubers fuck gimmicks fuck onscreen keyboards and most of all fuck jannies. Delete this shitty shill thread janny kun

>"...and it's powered by whack 'em AES"

Well... You could maybe play virtual card games or battleship with someone else in tent mode. Or you and a buddy could jack off to porn on the same screen while looking each other directly in the eyes. Other than that, I got nothing.

so is the age of useless gimmicks, except there is not a wii sports equivalent that benefits from this shit.

The actual usecase imho will be a 20 inch screen + stand in a package that you can carry around like a small laptop.

Connect it to a desktop PC & mouse and you'll be left with something very comfy imho.

*connect to desktop keyboard & mouse

>OLED
Imagine the burn-in lol.

Portable keyboard is nice, but I think actual tradeoff will be full desktop keyboard for real work, and touch screen keyboard for random on the go fuckery.

You accept that it is slightly worse at being a pure laptop, in exchange for being able to carry your desktop around and use it like a gigantic tablet laptop hybrid thing.

Not to alarm anyone, but I think tech companies are trying to kill the keyboard because it may be becoming cheaper to manufacturer touchscreens than keyboards so in the future you may not find laptops with physical keyboard anymore, apple's butterfly keyboard is transition training for the keyboardless future. In the future if you are seen using a keyboard you are considered a hipster and need to cash out at least 100e if you want to buy a basic keyboard.

finally; an end to 16:9

That's just a foldable tablet.

pretty good use case, desu

fold your dick you fuckwad

this is objectively the actual reason
they replace the "fallible" moving parts of cheap applel keyboards, with a still more fallible hinged screen
everyone profits

So a foldable tablet with an x86-64 cpu?

How do you type without feeling the buttons? It's easy to mistype shit on touchscreen when not looking.

who the fuck
why the fuck
what the fuck

Touchscreen keyboards = shit
No EMR stylus = shit
first gen experimental tech = shit
"thinkpad" = shit

It's for retards

It's gonna be expensive, isn't it?

if it doesn't have a thinknipple, it's out of question.
also
>no keyboard (older chinkpad keyboards best)
>foldable which means pain in the ass to code software for it. so no sanks

you forgot no red chinknipple

bahah
