Under the rotating panel is a “soft, felt back plate,” PCMag reported. I see that this is shocking in a real computer. The textures of felt or other substances are unusual on machines and can cause this part of the computer to stand out in an unwanted way. However, the black feeling could eventually fade in the background, depending on the user's perception.
Lenovo suggested that people could use the felt space to place a smartphone for reflection with the PC via the Software -Connect software; However, that function requires a Lenovo Motorola telephone.
Lenovo presented other potential use cases for the unique screen in the press release, including “multitasking of split screen, display code and the viewing of documents.”
Lenovo's newest concept laptop continues the many years of exploration of PC screens from the OEM that adapt to the different ways in which people use PCs. I am skeptical about the use of felt in a laptop, which would probably be thousands of dollars if they were ever released as a consumer product. A laptop such as the vertiflex should also prove that it has a sustainable pivot point and can spin a lot during years of use. Nevertheless, Lenovo is considering offering versatile screens without trusting, warping of OLED screens that can suffer from reflections, blinding, visible folds or awkward engines.
For those who like to see laptop screen ideas that are not dependent on Bendy OLED, the vertiflex is the type of concept that you wonder why we have not seen it before.
