Lenovo is a world leader when it comes to laptops. It appears that a company has grown tired of the boring laptop form factor that we have now and has decided to mix things up. According to a new report, it appears that Lenovo is working on a transparent laptop. This device could be shown off during MWC later this month.
MWC sounds like a good idea we’re going to see s ton of top companies show off their products there. For example, Tecno is going to show off a rollable phone during the event.
While the source leaking this is reputable, you will still want to take this information with a grain of salt. Since we’re talking about a leak, there’s always the chance of it not being 100% true to life.
Lenovo could show off a transparent laptop at MWC
Move over Nothing, Lenovo also wants to bring a transparent device. However, there’s a completely different mentality here. From the looks of the leaked renders, it appears that the laptop’s display will be completely transparent. When it’s open, you will see right through the display. So, places in the picture where the pixel would be black will be completely transparent. Since it’s transparent, also expect a completely bezel-less experience.
Well, there technically is a bezel. The bezel is a massive chin bezel that, obviously, holds the very non-transparent electronic components. It’s an interesting-looking concept, and it would be interesting to see if Lenovo eventually released this product in the future.
As for the keyboard, it appears that there may not be a physical keyboard. Rather, it looks like this will be a dual-screen laptop. So, instead of there being a keyboard, you’ll see a secondary display with a digital keyboard. When the laptop is closed, you will see straight through the display to the digital keyboard.
Since this is a concept, we can’t really take some of the details to heart. For example, in one of the renders, it appears that this will have two USB-C ports. However, those might just be a formality.
There’s one potential issue
If this is indeed only a concept, then this could possibly be addressed. If transparent screens sound familiar to you, LG showed off an incredible-looking transparent television during CES this year. While the screen was transparent, it could be made non-transparent for the press of a button. A black sheet would rise from the bottom so that you can’t see through the screen. This will turn it into a regular television
However, there doesn’t seem to be anything in place to make this transparent Lenovo laptop non-transparent. Sure, the laptop will be nice to use in very dark environments or in places where privacy is not an issue. However, what if you want to take your laptop outside or in a coffee shop? The visibility will be a massive issue, and obviously, everyone will be able to see what is on your screen.
So, we’re going to have to see what Lenovo is going to do.
