Lenovo Unveils World’s First Laptop With Foldable Display

It plans to start selling the "foldable PC" in 2020.

Let's Get Foldable

At its Accelerate conference on Monday, Chinese tech company Lenovo unveiled a prototype of what it's calling "the world’s first foldable PC."

"This is not a phone, tablet, or familiar hybrid," the company wrote in a press release announcing the device. "This is a full-fledged laptop with a foldable screen."

The company says it plans to begin selling the foldable laptop in 2020 — adding to the mounting evidence that foldable screens are going to be a staple of future tech (assuming the industry can work out the few remaining kinks).

Know When to Fold 'Em

Lenovo hasn't released too many details on the laptop — in fact, the device doesn't even have a name yet.

What the company has shared is that the foldable laptop will be a member of the ThinkPad X1 family and that an Intel processor will power it. Lenovo also revealed that it created the device's 13.3-inch 2K OLED display as part of a partnership with LG.

While the video Lenovo released of the laptop provides just a quick glimpse at new tech, Engadget did have a chance to get hands-on with the prototype, and the video the news outlet released offers a far more in-depth look at the device.
