Lenovo ThinkBook Flip To Launch This Summer With Unique Display Setup

[GGforever]

According to a recent tidbit shared by the reliable tipster Evan Blass, Lenovo is gearing up to introduce a ThinkBook laptop with a foldable OLED screen. We already know that the company is also preparing to launch a laptop with a rollable display, but the ThinkBook Flip is intended to provide customers with even more screen real estate - when unfolded, of course. That said, it might be somewhat cumbersome to visualize what a foldable display-equipped laptop might look like. Unsurprisingly, the provided images sure do make the task a lot easier.

Basically, the Lenovo ThinkBook Flip will boast an impressively tall screen that folds in half backwards, allowing the laptop to function as a tablet when it is in the clamshell mode. When unfolded, the extra-tall display provides an absolute metric ton of screen real estate - though, only if customers are willing to stack their windows vertically. I am quite certain there a plethora of workflows that can take advantage of the abundance of vertical space, even though ergonomics will remain a point of contention. The screen can also be unfolded partially to create a propped-up display - according to the images - allowing for a 'tent' mode of sorts which can come in handy during presentations or one-on-one meetings. We do not have any information regarding pricing, but it would be safe to say that the ThinkBook Flip will most likely arrive with a hefty price tag.

That looks flipping awful.

Will that small base be able to hold that screen in place?

I think that it will flip backwards - just because physics.

Will that small base be able to hold that screen in place?

If most of the weight is in that base, then yes. (on the other hand if the screen is very light than it would also not be very solid, but that's a different problem)

If the 3D render is 100% accurate. then they could be using the same screen tech as a lot of the big flip phones.

Other wise they'd have to add some support like the Asus Zenbook Duo:
