Full Screen Mode:-

In the demo of Lenovo, the device when used in the full screen mode works similarly to a large tablet and users are able to either watch a video or use it for a PowerPoint presentation.

Folded:-

When the device is folded, it transforms into a laptop like device where half of the screen can be used similar to a PC screen and the other half of the screen can be used a keyboard. There is also a possibility that the other half of the screen can be used for different control layouts with help of other apps. For example, a music lover and use the lower half of the screen for the DJ app to have controls like knobs, sliders and a digital deck.

Bluetooth Keyboard feature:-

Not everyone is going to like the idea of using the screen keyboard on the touch display. For such serious users who like to have a more realistic typing experience, Lenovo has introduced a Bluetooth Keyboard which is slim in size. In addition to the Bluetooth Keyboard, a Wacom Stylus has also been included in the device for annotating, drawing or handwriting.

Crease:-

The one question that people are asking about the device is as to how do the Crease looks like. Well the crease is not half bad. Although the crease is visible when the device is folded and can be seen clearly in the photos and videos but when unfolded the crease is impossible to spot.

Foldable Screen durability:-

Another question about the foldable screen is as to how long term can it hold its durability. According to Lenovo, the screen is engineered in a fashion similar to its ThinkPads which have been renowned for their durability. Still Lenovo is testing out the hinges to ensure that the hinges of this device are to endure twice the amount as compared to other regular laptops.

Being a prototype, the device’s software had little bugs and it kept crashing but it is still enough to present the viewers an idea about the upcoming Foldable Windows PC. The great thing about his device is that while it is not thick when unfolded it is also not that much thick when folded.

As for the price and the how will the various apps adapt to its different modes are the questions that are still a mystery right now.

While this device from Lenovo is going to be a great addition in the world of mobile computing and the Windows PC, the world is already adept to using iPad Pros for the POC like productivity. As for mobile computing, they are using their smartphones. We are not sure at the moment that will this device catch on among the people or not.

Well, let’s hope for Lenovo that we are wrong and the Foldable PCs are hoping to be that next big thing that everyone wanted.
