Lenovo ThinkBook Flip foldable laptop concept showcased at MWC

Lenovo introduced the ThinkBook Flip AI PC Concept at the Mobile World Congress, a unique productivity laptop featuring a flexible OLED display.  This innovative design allows it to function in multiple modes: as a traditional 13.1-inch clamshell laptop, a 12.9-inch tablet, or an extended 18.1-inch vertical screen. Unlike the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, which has a motorized rollable display, the Flip’s screen folds behind the central portion instead of extending from underneath.  This eliminates the need for motors, potentially lowering costs while maximizing screen real estate.  When folded back, nearly half of the screen faces outward, allowing users to mirror or extend their display for presentations or additional workspace.  The most impressive feature is its ability to flip into an 18.1-inch-tall display with a high-resolution (2000 x 2664) OLED panel. This improves productivity by offering a larger viewing area for documents and web pages while positioning the webcam at a comfortable eye level.

While still in the concept phase, Lenovo has shared potential specs, suggesting an actual market release.  The Flip is expected to feature an Intel Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, PCIe SSD storage,…Lenovo ThinkBook Flip foldable laptop concept showcased at MWC
