1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,480
so you think you know what a laptop is huh sure yeah it's a portable computer

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,160
with a small display connected to a built-in keyboard and trackpad that's

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,799
that's what a laptop is well guess what

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,840
that's wrong now it's 2020 buddy we're looking back with clear vision

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:23,680
that joke will last this entire year at how long laptops have had the same

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,560
boring old form factor and thinking about how we can change it up and by we

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:34,160
i mean companies like lenovo dell and Intel who introduced real pcs with

8
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:36,640
foldable displays at ces this year look

9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,960
at first i was like you i thought these were just a stupid gimmick but from what

10
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:46,079
i've seen at the show here i'm now dare i say it convinced this whole

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:50,960
foldable thing just might work speaking of work do you not have any

12
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:54,480
employees to work for you don't be sad because pulseway lets you remotely

13
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:58,559
monitor manage and control all your Windows mac and Linux machines from one

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,100
app create your free account to try it out now

15
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:10,159
at the link below

16
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:17,280
so alex already took a short look at dell's concept duet device with its dual

17
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,759
13-inch screens and concept ori with its single foldable 13-inch display and

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:26,159
while he found the ideas interesting he wasn't convinced he could use them for

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,520
his next laptop and i have to agree but only because as dell repeatedly told us

20
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,520
when we went to take a look at the two devices they're very early prototypes

21
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:37,680
they wouldn't tell us anything about specs price or release date they seemed

22
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:40,960
kind of shy about the whole thing to be honest like

23
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,320
i made this it's okay i guess

24
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:49,200
lenovo on the other hand has been practically shouting the details about

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:54,399
their foldable into our faces at ces because the thinkpad x1 fold is not just

26
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:58,560
a prototype it's a real product and they're confident they'll be bringing

27
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:03,360
the world's first foldable pc to market in mid-2020 it's got a 13.3 inch display

28
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:08,000
and folds down to about the size of a moleskine notebook and it feels like a

29
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:12,400
moleskin notebook too because it's got a real leather exterior which slides

30
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:16,160
across the magnesium alloy shell as you open and close it very luxurious just

31
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,160
like the clothes you'll get from lcgstar.com

32
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,480
but that's not the only reason it felt good in the hand lenovo says they put

33
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:28,319
the x1 fold through the exact same durability testing that all of their

34
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,519
thinkpad models do and when i tried it out once i got past the mental jump it

35
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,000
takes to get used to folding a large display like that like this is

36
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,239
definitely gonna break it's definitely gonna break it very much felt like a

37
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:43,519
finished device it even had some optimizations i didn't expect like being

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,160
able to fold it with the bluetooth keyboard inside where it charges

39
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:54,640
wirelessly that's pretty cool the question is though is it finished enough

40
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:56,239
to warrant the 2 499 that lenovo will

41
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:00,480
charge for it when it launches sometime this year they've done the work to put

42
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:04,239
decent specs into this machine it's got 8 gigs of RAM 11 hours of battery life

43
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,400
and a processor built with what they would only call Intel hybrid technology

44
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:13,280
which sounds suspiciously like the lakefield CPU with foveros 3d stacking

45
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:18,400
tech shown off at ces last year but will this foldable form factor be any more

46
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:23,840
useful than simply getting a compact laptop or a surface pro style two in one

47
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,000
the moment that convinced me was when we popped out the kickstand and set it up

48
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:32,560
in landscape mode playing with it in your hands makes it seem like a tablet

49
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:37,120
but propped up like that imagining it on a desk with a full-size keyboard mouse

50
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:41,360
and maybe even another monitor connected made me think hey

51
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,000
this could be cool now take that moment and intensify it

52
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,159
because that's how i felt when i saw Intel's prototype horseshoe bend

53
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:55,440
foldable it's also just a concept device but this one has a 17.3 inch display and

54
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,480
folds down to something smaller than a 13-inch laptop it's very usable in bent

55
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:04,799
laptop form with its bluetooth keyboard but once you pop out its kickstand which

56
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:10,560
you don't expect to be rigid because it was folded just a second ago the size of

57
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,000
the screen is impressive like

58
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,400
think about it for a second apple has been trying to pitch the ipad pro as a

59
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,320
computer you can work on documents and produce music and do video and photo

60
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:25,120
editing even but that marketing angle seemed a little weird because while the

61
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,800
ipad pro is a beautiful device at the end of the day it's this small screen

62
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:33,440
with no real mouse support and the 12-inch one is not far off size-wise

63
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:38,320
from a 13-inch laptop so you might as well just get one of those

64
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,520
but horseshoe bend is a 12-inch device

65
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,560
that unfolds into essentially a 17-inch

66
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,960
ipad that runs Windows

67
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:51,280
that's pretty cool guys so seeing these devices at ces made me think of a future

68
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:55,680
where we have these small devices in our bags and we can either use them like a

69
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,160
phone or a small laptop with a magnetically attached bluetooth keyboard

70
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:04,960
or fully unfold them and have a full desk setup with peripherals before this

71
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,400
year's ces i thought that future was a lot farther off but

72
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,680
it turns out it's going to be here in a few months oh wow

73
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:18,639
speaking of wow here's a message from my far away friend Linus we're not friends

74
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:23,440
we're more than friends you work for me and pulseway can work

75
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,120
for you pulseplay is the real-time remote monitor i swear i didn't write

76
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,199
these pulseplay is the real-time remote monitoring and management software that

77
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,560
helps you fix problems on the go from a single app its remote desktop

78
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:38,479
functionality gives you access to your system's real-time status system

79
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,880
resources logged in users network performance and more and it doesn't

80
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:48,160
matter whether you're running Windows Linux a bunch of fancy macs or some

81
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,919
combination of the three so try pulse way out today for free and save 20
