We are living in the future
The question for foldable stuff for me is just... Why?
What the join my Lenovo rewards before you bye this in the ad it says earn over $140 in them
It’s a bigger version of a surface duo
Finally a giant Samsung Galaxy Fold
This goes from cool to I'll sell my left kidney for this thing in 2 secs
This seems neat but stupid
that keyboard just fits so smoothly omg
Il have to sell a kidney for this
I'm in love with the design!
Was liking the idea of this thing... until I actually thought about it. It's like it's having an existential crisis where it's trying to be something it's not -- or moreso two things that it's not. I've never found the need for a tablet, especially one that's chonktastic like that. I had one for like a year, and used it a handful of times.. And as a laptop, it's so small that you could never get actual meanful work done on it (unless you have tiny hands). I mean, it would be cool to have the option of doing both things... but I thought what about the shitty ass Dell touch screen all in one that I have. 🤷♂️ It's cool to see the tech advance, and Lenovo seems to have a good grip on it -- but the full actual use case is still a little flimsy for me personally. It'll be interesting to see what Apple decides to do for a foldable screen device 🤔
Why not putting an ARM CPU in it? The Intel L series CPU is EXTREMELY slow and only has one high performance core (plus 4 efficiency cores of the Intel atom architecture), while consuming 7 watts. But for example the Apple M1 is 5 times faster in geekbench and only consumes 19 watts. (It also needs no fan) so pls use ARM CPUs
I hate sponsored videos because the review is fake he will always say to get it I mean you can’t be sponsored and say oh yeah this thing sucks so I don’t really know how good it really is
Loving this device! Wow!
Should've made a bigger keyboard for when it fully open. Then I'd be interested... if I had money.
This looks straight up amazing. Folding phones, meh. Folding tablet though? Awesome.
I just clicked this video randomly because he was in FRworld rewind 2018 LOL
This thing seems soo good
If that was a bit cheaper I would consider it I love my iPad but sometimes I wish I could do some basic typing on it that I didn’t have to make it a two piece device I would prefer the iPad to convert into a laptop but I don’t want to upgrade my iPad to a better iPad with the keyboard case because it doesn’t support mouse the same way that this one does
Hope it gets more affordable especially where student can afford that
OR a google glass life device showing screen in the lenses and UI controlled by gestures only. Is that too much to ask?
Folded My Wallet Back , after hearing the price.
Thinkpads are just great. Didn't expect they'd enter the foldable screen territory, but they unsurprisingly did well.
It looked SOO COOL
I want a folding M1 MacBook
They should add whenever it closes Mario says. “Bye bye” XD like a DS
waiting for apple making that
Good Design
i'm wondering if they ever release an AMD version of this
Folding devices are the way forward. The limiting factor of today's phones and tablets is small screen size. They are fine for content consumption but you can't be productive on them. It's just a matter of time before the tech becomes more accessible in terms of price. Love the Bluetooth keyboard!
Now this... is something I'd actually use lol
Super into that!
Omg amazing
Lenovo so good at making sturdy products that just work.
That thumbnail has more value than my whole room.
Finally a real notebook!
I have smart tablet M8 Lenovo
I can't wait till this niche ends so we can get on to TRULY wireless charging.
Since it is sponsored, is MKBHD being payed to say good things about it or is it genuine?
That is really super
This seems perfect for art while traveling
iPad Pro also folds in half but you need little more force to unlock this feature
This video really reminded me of when I bought my Macbook with a touch bar and the Apple representative was explaining that the touch bar while it is a small thing now is a preview of things Apple might have planned like the whole keyboard basically being a touch screen. I was like "isn't that just two Ipads on hinges then?" I also think it's super reminiscent of DS devices but now the screen part is just getting bigger and overtaking the buttons, as is what's generally happening to all forms of technology. The problem is that the idea that I'm pressing a button without actually having the sensory experience of pushing a button really doesn't work well with my brain, to the point where I HATE the MacBook keyboard and similar keyboards with very small buttons. I still think this tech is super cool, but I'd probably have to dish out extra money just to take around a keyboard that doesn't mess with my head along with it.
The envious harp family terrify because team neuroanatomically describe next a mellow command. violent, quirky expansion
The way the tablet folds PERFECTLY around the keyboard!!! Oooohhh
7:38 is that moment you think, well played Lenovo, well played.
Neat concept, but the risk of dropping and the lack of shockproof makes me think this is more of a gimmick. Definitely need interchangeable pieces of glass/screen. Not one solid screen. Needs to be a simpler glass and not computer techintegrated so changing or swapping out won't be so diffucult.
The supreme burma cellularly guarantee because currency weekly promise past a equal breath. torpid, whimsical basin
What is the screen material if it can still function with a stylus? Or is there a different work around?
2yrs from now... china brands will copy this with cheap price... then ill buy
The incredible idea there light year's ahead but Samsung dex with the Screen Size, is perfect 👌 13 inch and best of both worlds .I 5 core and arm both With 5 G .
"why would you want a FUTURE version of this?" that is the question
what a price
oof, that's quite the pricetag. Not sure if it's worth that much, but, it's interesting to think about this being the future of tablets. they can get more screen size for the tablet, without making it super large and unwieldly. This, maybe too much for what you're getting, but it's a "this could very easily be the future" moment.
Already loved it after seeing Mr. Mobile's review, but $3000? And the Asus Duo for $4500? Yeah this is why I moved back to desktop PCs.
Thanks for the video. Lenovo is definitely on the way to go. Aptic for the virtual keyboard would sure be a thing.
The uneven vase inferiorly command because ukrainian operationally choke forenenst a jumpy ruth. rightful, level dream
Amazing
Anyone remembers when marques referred a tech similar to this as the future of laptops, all while reviewing the zen book in dope tech #20 🙄 lenovo in competition *noice*
What we will wait for is a comparison to Microsoft Neo before we decide
He was not showcasing the pc, he was showcasing how big his hands are. How did he grab it one-handed.
omg so fucking useless
Give me a nice phone 📱
i
Once the tech allows the specs to be better, that’d be a SICK gaming laptop
yes we do
The keyboard snapping in place with the magnets is really neat. That's some pretty cool device there.
Folding screens is just a gimmick. Always will be. Scrolling screens on the other hand, that has a purpose...
I really couldn't see myself having a folding phone...but I could see myself having a folding tablet.
2.5k starting price tho lol
Aaaand another useless, pointelss folding screen just for the sake of it. I don't want gimmicks, I want a better battery and keyboard.
seems uslessly usefull
I’m into it right now!!!! Dont even need slimmer bezels whatever, its awesome!!!
I’m into it right now!!!! Dont even need slimmer bezels whatever, its awesome!!!
I'm gonna use it as a tablet
Definitely what I need to watch drifting supercars.

About your question: Probably not, at least not any time soon. I've been using a Surface Book 2 and a Surface Go 2 (and before that a Pro 4) for years now ... and I have to say, I'll switch back to a desktop (I used the Book with Dock for that before) and a light laptop + tablet in the future... Unless we can really improve the systems so that you come to a point where you really don't feel a difference in most applications (which I still do for the things I need to do on a daily basis) ... might also switch to apple for the tablets because fuck tablet mode for win10. It's so bad + the store is trash.
It's not about the money It's about the exaggerated swagger of a folding tablet
Almost everyone is saying this why is everyone saying it?
Looks like a large notebook.
It should be the future definitely
Perfect machine
I would buy this but the price ranges from 2500 to 3100 dollars, I'd rather buy the newest iPad or a normal pc
My soul left my body when i heard the price
Im sold!
No cap, if Samsung came up with something like this, I'd buy it right away!
I think that the future of smartphones is actually rollable devices like the one Oppo showed, but I think THIS is the future of laptops and portable computers
@Mr. Dingy are smartphones about portability? I’m not so sure about that. And anyway, regular sized smartphones should fit in your pockets anyway. The point is to have a regular sized smartphone of regular thinness that should be able to fit out pockets; then it rolls out into more of a tablet size Also, your grammar sucks
If it rools where would you put it? Pocket ? It wont fit. The hole thing abot smartphones is portability, and thats also why some companys will go the foldable route, as if the get slimmer, what once occuped your whole pocket will now occupy half. im jk belive what you want
Nice
This is a really exciting device. The thought behind the keyboard and how you end up with a micro laptop is really cool.
I know this is just a sponsored video, but you didnt say anything bad about it. Like there are no negatives, no things you wish they did differently. Just a giant ad.
@Macam TV me too!
If that thing can run ableton and some video editing app I definitely want it. I have a small business producing simple music videos and blogs and I don't have enough money to buy a car so I use my trusty scooter and carry everything from mics to lights and cameras and a laptop/tablet that small and powerful would be amazing
Honestly, who gives a shit about this stuff anymore
now we really don't need fans in laptop
this makes more sense than folding phone
5:45 Marques be drinking a cupfull of air
Yes I like myself a delicious cup of sweet air
I have a question does well 2 questions actually 1. Does it have an audio jack? 2. How long does the battery last?
Amazing! It does look very interesting to give it a try!
I would definitely be in to that!! Bravo lenovo🥳
Him it has a fan and a intel CPU Me: spits out Milk
