If you are wondering why someone would want this, you are not alone.
In recent years, dual-display notebooks have been increasingly popular, which has led to a transition in the form of laptops toward tablets and touch screens respectively. Lenovo has always been on board with this idea, and it now appears that the company is getting ready to take this concept to an altogether new level within the context of a future notebook. Photos of a Lenovo laptop that appears to be somewhat peculiar and has a main display that is see-through have surfaced on the internet. It is not obvious how this laptop would operate, although it is possible that it would make use of the see-through OLED panels that were just recently disclosed.
According to photographs that were leaked and shared by Windows Report, the strange item looks to be a laptop with two screens running simultaneously. Although the primary display is completely see-through, it is nonetheless capable of projecting a picture in the same manner as a conventional display. According to the image that was shared, we are able to see the desktop wallpaper for Windows 11, which means that it is possible for someone who is sitting across from you to see what is on your desktop. In the meantime, a display that is below the transparent one is equipped with a capacitive keyboard and touch screen. This display is comparable to the Yoga Book 9i that Lenovo offers, but it does not have an external keyboard for typing. According to the website, Lenovo is planning to bring this intriguing laptop to the forefront at Mobile World Congress, which will begin on February 26.
The role of this claimed notepad in our lives, along with everything else about it, continues to be veiled in mystery. Due to the fact that it can be folded up into a tablet or used as a dual-display computer for content consumption, it is not difficult to comprehend the allure of a dual-screen notebook. There is still a lack of clarity around how a transparent display would even function, let alone provide the features that customers require. Considering that the majority of people still place a high value on their privacy when using a laptop in a location other than their own house, this would appear to be troublesome for the objectives of those individuals. However, it is feasible that it will be able to display content that is immersive in three dimensions; therefore, we will have to keep our powder dry until we see the announcement.
During the time that your humble author was employed by a well-known laptop manufacturer more than a decade ago, we had something similar to this in our skunkworks laboratory. In its most basic form, it was a method by which two individuals could sit opposite one another, with the display having the capability to project content on each side for the purpose of making collaborative efforts. The notebook in question was never produced, but it’s possible that Lenovo’s concept is comparable. Despite the fact that it continues to appear to be quite impractical, we are open to the possibility of seeing what Lenovo has in store for us here.
