One thing I find I use my laptop for a lot as a laptop is taking it into meetings. I think this form factor needs an option that would be a good fit for sitting down at a table with a bunch of other people where do you have to look over the monitor. Even a traditional laptop often in that scenario you have to tilt the screen way forward so that you can look people in the eye across from you.
in the early versions of this product (so probably in the full release too) you could bend the screen toward each other like every other laptop that has a tent tablet mode. then you'd have 1 screen facing you and another facing the other way. this could also be used for presentations as you could control the screen facing the audience on the screen facing you.
My kids saved all their $ to get an all-in-one Lenovo desktop/monitor. After a few updates the touchscreen stopped working. They said it’s a Windows issue. Gee thanks 😂
@@ayanbarua2400what are you talking about 😂? Every frigging year there is a program breaking new OS update, while making other program’s that don’t break with the OS update incompatible with the old version, if you want to keep the old programs.

Yes I Have this One!!! Totally Worth it for Media Consumption & Video Editing. Super Better than ipad or macbook things!!! Double Layer Screen means Double Satisfaction!!! Lenovo always be so Creative Tech Company Yay 👍🏻😃👍🏻
@@abcdef7660 Hello. Not untill Now!!! Everything Goes Smoothly!!! I Love in it, I always Use this Double Device at Caffee or Mcdonald!!! It's Very Rare to See it in My Country so Definitely Very Unique!!! Watch Movie & Video in Each of Screen!!! Awesome Experience 👍🏻😍👍🏻
As a construction project manager this thing is like a wet dream for me. I use a ipad on site and it sucks flipping back and forth on pages of the plans but with this i can pull up 2 pages. I dont have it yet but I definitely plan on getting one
Sorry CNET but I absolutely love mine! Dont know If It is just my appreciation or you are more on the negative side of this amazing and very audacious device.
I think it's cool but a little too much for my needs. I don't see myself using this on a plane or even a coffee shop. Seems more like it belongs in 2 screen form on my desktop and regular laptop mode everywhere else. In that case I would just get a second monitor. Instead for $690 I purchased the ZenBook duo and I love it. Two screens all the time while still keeping a usable laptop form factor. Having a second screen is fantastic but I don't need a second full screen. But I can see how this could be perfect for some.
I wonder if it is possible for manufacturer to make a full haptic bottom screen so that you can press down on the virtue keyboard and trackpad. That would be awesome.
That’s what I was hoping for. It’ll come eventually. The tech is there. I’ve gotten so used to typing on my iPad keyboard quickly, it’s muscle memory. Unless I’m gaming, I need a physical keyboard. But a digital keyboard with haptic would be perfect, a learning curve for most but I can already type on a digital keyboard with no eyes super quickly. I absolutely LOVE the strong haptic idea.
This is a dream for any computer programmer. It's fairly useless unless you need the second monitor, though. There are better spec'd machines for the price.
I am a bit of a sucker for 'innovative' tech. I got the original Yoga Book, which was woefully underpowered and tried to avoid the successor, the c930 until they had a big sale on it. The tap to open function never worked (and when I sent it in for repair, they cracked on corner of the bottom e-ink glass cover). I'd been sitting on my hands for this one as well even though it seemed to be the Couriert that Microsoft never made. Limited supply at Best Buy and a ludicrous 50% premium when buying at my home location helped me avoid it. However last week, supplies seem to become less of a problem and in fact, a nice healthy discount at home made it even cheaper than Best Buy (which would have involved getting a friend in the US to get it, pay unnecesarily for state taxes and then have to contend with a less than international warranty). I upgraded mine to 1TB, paid 12cents for the mouse and am waiting for delivery.
Well it took about 17 years of laptops being in existence before we got a trackpad, it took 10 more years to get the trackpad right, and no laptop had a decent screen for the first almost 40 years they were a product, as a matter of fact laptops wasn't until 2005 30 years after the first laptop was made that laptops out sold desktops. Besides the tablet this is the first new form factor for a laptop since the Mac Powerbook 500 in 1994. Think of how many years it took the iPad to figure out how to be a laptop. This thing's in the beginning it'll take a while to sort out.
While this looks like a really cool idea. It looked really laggy in the demo and the windows touchscreen/multitouch/keyboard are notoriously terrible. I wouldnt drop 2+k on something that is lagging and is this buggy out of the box is a hard sell.
I like the 4k version of the lenovo laptop but I wish there was an option for mini led since most laptop displays are too dim. Every device that I use with an oled display already have burn in issues, its why I prefer to have mini led due to its high brightness and no burn in issues. My sony xperia 1 iv android phone with it's 120 hz oled display already has burn in but luckily the display has not lost its display brightness over time like my pixel 4a 5g since my pixel 4a 5g has burn in and it's display brightness got dimmer over time. My 2022 razer with it's 4k 144 hz ips display is too dim, samsung chromebook with it's 4k super amoled display is too dim. My sony phone is brighter than my gaming laptop and chromebook.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M I only game in native 4k with hdr and ray tracing otherwise just native 4k with hdr if the games don't support ray tracing, that's why I use windows plus windows 11 supports android apps and I use both windows and android.

Msi created a laptop called the msi creator 17 with the 2070 max q gpu and 4k mini led display with 1,000 nits that best buy used to sell in stores. I use media monkey to sync my music library and playlist with my android devices to my micro sd cards and media monkey is only available for windows since there is no media monkey for mac os since mac os relies on iTunes. I used iTunes and I never liked iTunes plus iTunes does not support flac even though flac is free and open source. Apple uses alac which is the same thing is flac but apple wants to have there own version and I tried to open alac on my android devices and alac won't open since the files needed to be converted to other audio files like flac, wav etc. plus flac is supported on more services like plex amp. I have my music stored locally on my micro sd cards when I ripped my cds since I don't stream my music and I still buy cds.

Mac os never had these pop up with these options since have to be done manually in certain ways that I never got used to plus I'm still confused on how to use the task manager on mac os compared to control, alt and delete to access task manager on windows. I grew up using windows since windows 95 with using dial up and even using ms-dos. I even have floppy disks. I have a mixture of products that are old and outdated because they still work and a mixture of new products but less functional compared to there older counterparts.
And, as usual for Lenovo, they’re “coming soon” on their website. Again. Just like the long delayed (probably vaporware at this point) X1 Fold. What’s the point of pushing a product on social when there’s none to buy?
I really like it but it has some kinks that need to be ironed out in my opinion. I'm also nervous about durability. If one of those screens goes, the entire laptop is unuseable
This has been in the works for about a year now, and it feels like a mess. It goes to show how crappy Lenovo is as a brand. I'm passing on this. There will be others doing it better.
I've been waiting for something like this for years. Now I can ditch my extra screen when traveling for work. More of this Please!!!

Lenovo needs to make a portable display like this. Add it to their ThinkVision line.

Would love to see Samsung's version of this, WITHOUT the hinge blocking out portions of the screen like on this model.
I think the hinge on a laptop is actually ergonomically perfect placement for strong speakers. Rather a useful hinge than a fold crease on my laptop.
This is a fabulous tool. Thanks for the review.
Keeps saying no keyboard but it comes with a keyboard and you’re showing a keyboard in the video
