I'm having trouble conceptualizing what this would look like. Is it a giant monitor that can also be a laptop? Aren't all laptops/notebooks by definition foldable anyway?
I'm having the same trouble. Also, I really don't get the whole craze with folding devices. To me, it just seems like one more (expensive) point of failure on an already fragile device. Or maybe I am just old - So get off my lawn! ๐
I wouldn't mind a foldable phone once they get the kinks sorted out and the price comes down a bit.
Linux on the WAM show recently talked about how much he loved his foldable phone. I'd love to try one out myself but I'm with you on price. $1800 for a phone is way too much. That's a months rent for something I'd be terrified to drop or get stolen
Except Apple will just make it even more expensive than now, starting it all over again.
And I say that as an Apple user.
i think the keyboard/touchpad/armrest side would be all screen. if they include lidar then it could do goggle-less 3D spatial computing. harsher to type on though.
Sounds like an awesome portable big ass screen/computer, with a shitty laptop mode built-in
maybe they have some new tech to make a screen feel like a keyboard.. and maybe some killer apps would justify it. Media creation/editing software might be better without a keyboard and double workspace.
