Lenovo's ThinkBook Flip AI laptop features a towering OLED screen that folds in half

Something to look forward to: Forget about phones with tri-folding screens; Lenovo is planning to unveil a laptop that folds into three seperate sections. The screen is twice the height of a standard laptop display, and it can fold in half so the bottom portion faces the user and the top half faces the opposite direction. Prolific long-time leaker Evan Blass wrote on X (via Liliputing) that Lenovo plans to unveil the ThinkBook Flip AI PC at MWC next month. It uses an OLED screen that's about twice as tall as what you'd find on a normal laptop.The extra screen space isn't just designed for coding or showing extra-long chats or social media feeds, though it will likely be helpful in those cases. It can also fold in the middle so the top half of the screen is facing away from the user.Flipping the screen in half could allow someone else to view the display while a person is working on the laptop, or maybe they just want to use a regular-sized screen for a while. The laptop could also double as a tablet, which is something 2-in-1 convertible laptops also offer.Dual-screen laptops aren't new. Intel revealed a concept model back in 2019 that resembled the ThinkBook Flip AI. It was the same year that Asus showed off the latest ZenBook Pro that came with a 14-inch, 4K secondary display above the keyboard. There's also the powerful ROG Zephyrus Duo with its two screens.Asus also unveiled the 2024 Zenbook Duo last year. The dual-screen laptop with detachable keyboard can either be used as a standard laptop where the bottom screen is covered entirely by the keyboard, or as a regular dual-screen laptop with the two screens arranged vertically. It can also be used in desktop mode, with the two screens arranged horizontally. // Related StoriesLenovo's laptop is different from most as the screen bends in the middle like a foldable phone, rather than being two separate screens connected by a hinge, a design the similar-looking GPD Duo employs. Hopefully, there won't be a visible crease like we see in many folding devices.No word on the ThinkBook Flip AI's specs or price, but it'll almost certainly be expensive.This isn't the first futuristic laptop from Lenovo.
