The screen folds.

To see it flat, you would never know that it could bend.

It feels good with the pen.

The outside has unusual details.
It does not have a name (but it will be in the ThinkPad X1 family), it has no specifications (but it uses an Intel processor), it does not have an operating system ("Windows" but, not specifically "Windows 10"), there is no more specific release date than "2020", and of course, there is no price. But these are minor details, I suppose. Overview: Lenovo has built a laptop with a 13.3-inch 1920 × 1440 foldable OLED display made by LG. The screen occupies both halves of the interior space of the laptop, including where the keyboard would normally go, and the machine can be folded to turn it into a flat screen of 13 inches that you really would not have imagined bending.
What we know: Lenovo has been working on it for three years. The company considers that this is a PC in its own right that can take the place of your laptop, especially do not a simple secondary device or companion. Both halves have batteries, so they are not too heavy, and they have a rigid laptop-style hinge to hold the screen at virtually any angle, up to 180 degrees. The screen supports a Wacom pen, and drawing on the screen is nice. Once opened, there is a hollow barely noticeable when pulling on the articulated part. But if you did not look for it, you'd be hard-pressed to spot it. The unnamed machine has an infrared camera for face recognition authentication as well as two Type-C USB ports.
As we have seen on other devices with flip-up screens (such as the unfortunate Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei's fabulous Mate X), the folded screen does not show any problems. There is no crease in the place where it bends. Instead, it bends once closed, although Lenovo does not let us show you that curve. Likewise, when the screen is completely open, one could imagine that it would be useful to be able to stand it up so that you can use it to watch movies and so on. There is a way to do it, but Lenovo will not let us show you how. We can say that there will be a keyboard accessory using Bluetooth, and although you are free to imagine how such an accessory could be placed on a flip machine, the company did not want us to indicate details.
Lenovo also assures us that, while its screen, like that of the Galaxy Fold, requires a protective layer, the company was not fool enough to leave the seams of this layer visible. So, there should not be any problems with people taking off and destroying it.
The test machine we briefly used was using Windows 10, but the company insists that it is a temporary solution, for demonstration purposes only. This reinforces the rumors that Microsoft is working on some kind of new or perhaps even reduced version of Windows, possibly even with a user interface explicitly designed for this type of folding device.
I do not really know what this system is for, although a system of less than 13 inches that is still decent for watching movies has an appealing sound. I think it's quite possible that the folding screen is a bit more than a gadget – a smart technology, of course, but that serves no particular purpose goal. But damn, the screen has the usual look of OLED and folding is frankly strange the first time you do it.
I am very curious to know what Microsoft has in reserve for the software part of the equation. I can not really offer a good reason to Why I want it. But I do a lot. It looks like something in the future and I can not wait to get my hands on the final shipping material.
