At CES 2025, Lenovo unveiled a rollable laptop, showcasing their innovative spirit. Now, Evan Blass has leaked renders of a new dual-screen folding laptop, further demonstrating Lenovo’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of laptop design. This upcoming ThinkBook Flip AI PC, set to debut at MWC, offers a unique approach to dual-screen technology.
The ThinkBook Flip AI PC resembles a book-style foldable phone with an integrated keyboard. Alternatively, picture an Asus or HP folding-screen laptop, but with a traditional keyboard deck. This design potentially offers greater durability compared to the delicate rollable displays.
Details about the ThinkBook Flip AI PC’s specifications, pricing, and target audience remain scarce. However, the leaked images spark curiosity. Consider the folded mode, with one screen facing outwards – why would this be beneficial?
Several potential use cases emerge, such as client presentations, educational settings, or even real-time translation during meetings. The tent-like configuration facilitates shared computing experiences in various scenarios.
Even more striking is the vertical mode, extending the screen upwards to eye level. This configuration might be ideal for certain tasks, but it’s undeniably a public computing experience. Imagine the reactions in a coffee shop.
The value of additional screen real estate is undeniable, and Lenovo understands this. The Lenovo YogaBook 9i, with its dual screens, received acclaim for its build quality, display, performance, and versatility.
With the ThinkBook Flip AI PC, Lenovo appears to be exploring every possible dual-screen configuration – rolling, folding, and now book-style. This demonstrates their ambition to cater to diverse user needs.
Key questions remain: the price point and whether Lenovo will address the potential for this device to be disruptive in shared workspaces or coffee shops. The ThinkBook Flip AI PC undoubtedly represents a bold and intriguing step in laptop evolution.
