At CES 2025, Lenovo unveiled a laptop featuring a rollable extending screen, showcasing their continued commitment to innovative designs. Now, Evan Blass has leaked what appears to be renders of a dual-display folding laptop.
Picture a foldable device similar to a book-style smartphone, but with a keyboard attached. Alternatively, envision a laptop akin to offerings from Asus or HP that boast a flexible folding screen, paired with a traditional keyboard at the base.
This concept aligns well with the upcoming Lenovo ThinkBook Flip AI PC, which will debut at MWC soon. This model is expected to be sturdier than a rollable version, given that it’s built on more conventional flexible screen technology.
Details regarding the device’s internals, pricing, and target audience remain undisclosed. However, one cannot help but wonder about the practicality of utilizing the rear screen when it’s visible to onlookers around you.
Possible use cases for this format could include presenting to clients, engaging students in a classroom, or facilitating real-time translation during meetings. The tent-like configuration could indeed foster a shared experience in computing that benefits multiple users.
Imagine the screen extending vertically to eye level, making for an unabashedly “public” computing experience unless you’re in a more private setting.
Having previously garnered attention for projects such as the dual-screen YogaBook 9i—which received accolades for its impressive build quality, stunning display, and versatile functionality—Lenovo is once again poised to innovate. The forthcoming ThinkBook Flip AI PC promises a dual-screen experience that embodies various engineering concepts, whether rolling, folding, or book-styled.
I’m certainly curious about the anticipated price point and whether the accompanying user manual will advise keeping the device’s footprint minimal on shared desks or in cozy cafés, ensuring it doesn’t become a distraction to nearby laptop users.
