Aren’t laptops already foldable?
Not iFoldable.
I stopped being foldable years ago.
Me too, sadly.
Exactly what went thru my head when I saw this lmao.
But can you fold them…twice [Dr Evil pinkie gesture]?
Why not a “scrunchable” laptop? You scrunch it into a small ball and put in in your pocket. Main problem will be remembering not to toss it in the bin.
It looks like the screen will be foldable.
They’ve been for like 8 years but… This one has a picture of a fruit on the cover
I’m having trouble conceptualizing what this would look like. Is it a giant monitor that can also be a laptop? Aren’t all laptops/notebooks by definition foldable anyway?
I’m having the same trouble. Also, I really don’t get the whole craze with folding devices. To me, it just seems like one more (expensive) point of failure on an already fragile device. Or maybe I am just old - So get off my lawn! 😆
I wouldn’t mind a foldable phone once they get the kinks sorted out and the price comes down a bit.
Linux on the WAM show recently talked about how much he loved his foldable phone. I’d love to try one out myself but I’m with you on price. $1800 for a phone is way too much. That’s a months rent for something I’d be terrified to drop or get stolen
Except Apple will just make it even more expensive than now, starting it all over again.
And I say that as an Apple user.

i think the keyboard/touchpad/armrest side would be all screen. if they include lidar then it could do goggle-less 3D spatial computing. harsher to type on though.
Sounds like an awesome portable big ass screen/computer, with a shitty laptop mode built-in
maybe they have some new tech to make a screen feel like a keyboard… and maybe some killer apps would justify it. Media creation/editing software might be better without a keyboard and double workspace.

I have an old 2011 17” MBP (that still works great) and a new 15” MacBook Air. The 15” is a lot smaller than the 17”. A 20” with todays thin bezels would probably be close in size to that old 17”.
but why? 20 inch is no longer a mobile device imo, what laptop should be. am I wrong?
It’s portable if it folds away into a 10" device
And if you fold it 7 times it becomes a convenient 0.15625" device
As someone who works in design, it’s something I’ve been hoping for for years. Still a bit salty about them discontinuing 17”.
