Foldable PCs are about to hit the market in a big way.
Intel has today announced a new foldable display spec for its PC partners that will enable new and unique device form factors with foldable screens. Intel says the first foldable PCs adopting this new spec will begin shipping this year, opening the door to a flurry of new and unique Windows PCs.
Foldable screens enable a number of new form factors and postures, including laptop, tablet, tabletop, journal, and dual-angle devices. We`ve already seen Lenovo attempt a foldable Windows PC with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold, but that device was met with lacklustre reviews because of the underpowered chip and unoptimized Windows 10 OS.
This year, new Foldable PCs with Intel will be shipping on Intel`s Evo spec, which includes Intel 12th-gen chips and focuses on being responsive, with instant wake, fast charging, and `real world` battery life. These new Foldable PCs will be in a much better place as a result, good news for Windows users...
