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

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.160
with a small display connected to a built-in keyboard and trackpad that's

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.799
that's what a laptop is well guess what

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:19.840
that's wrong now it's 2020 buddy we're looking back with clear vision

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:23.680
that joke will last this entire year at how long laptops have had the same

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.560
boring old form factor and thinking about how we can change it up and by we

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:34.160
i mean companies like lenovo dell and Intel who introduced real pcs with

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:36.640
foldable displays at ces this year look

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

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

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:50.960
foldable thing just might work speaking of work do you not have any

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:54.480
employees to work for you don't be sad because pulseway lets you remotely

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:58.559
monitor manage and control all your Windows mac and Linux machines from one

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.100
app create your free account to try it out now

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:10.159
at the link below

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:17.280
so alex already took a short look at dell's concept duet device with its dual

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:21.759
13-inch screens and concept ori with its single foldable 13-inch display and

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:26.159
while he found the ideas interesting he wasn't convinced he could use them for

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.520
his next laptop and i have to agree but only because as dell repeatedly told us

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:33.520
when we went to take a look at the two devices they're very early prototypes

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:37.680
they wouldn't tell us anything about specs price or release date they seemed

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.960
kind of shy about the whole thing to be honest like

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:44.320
i made this it's okay i guess

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:49.200
lenovo on the other hand has been practically shouting the details about

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:54.399
their foldable into our faces at ces because the thinkpad x1 fold is not just

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:58.560
a prototype it's a real product and they're confident they'll be bringing

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

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:08.000
and folds down to about the size of a moleskine notebook and it feels like a

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:12.400
moleskin notebook too because it's got a real leather exterior which slides

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:16.160
across the magnesium alloy shell as you open and close it very luxurious just

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:19.160
like the clothes you'll get from lcgstar.com

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

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:28.319
the x1 fold through the exact same durability testing that all of their

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

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:36.000
takes to get used to folding a large display like that like this is

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:40.239
definitely gonna break it's definitely gonna break it very much felt like a

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.519
finished device it even had some optimizations i didn't expect like being

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:48.160
able to fold it with the bluetooth keyboard inside where it charges

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:54.640
wirelessly that's pretty cool the question is though is it finished enough

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:56.239
to warrant the 2 499 that lenovo will

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.480
charge for it when it launches sometime this year they've done the work to put

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

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:08.400
and a processor built with what they would only call Intel hybrid technology

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:13.280
which sounds suspiciously like the lakefield CPU with foveros 3d stacking

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:18.400
tech shown off at ces last year but will this foldable form factor be any more

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:23.840
useful than simply getting a compact laptop or a surface pro style two in one

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:28.000
the moment that convinced me was when we popped out the kickstand and set it up

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:32.560
in landscape mode playing with it in your hands makes it seem like a tablet

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:37.120
but propped up like that imagining it on a desk with a full-size keyboard mouse

00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:41.360
and maybe even another monitor connected made me think hey

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:46.000
this could be cool now take that moment and intensify it

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.159
because that's how i felt when i saw Intel's prototype horseshoe bend

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

00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.480
folds down to something smaller than a 13-inch laptop it's very usable in bent

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:04.799
laptop form with its bluetooth keyboard but once you pop out its kickstand which

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

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:12.000
the screen is impressive like

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

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:20.320
computer you can work on documents and produce music and do video and photo

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:25.120
editing even but that marketing angle seemed a little weird because while the

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

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:33.440
with no real mouse support and the 12-inch one is not far off size-wise

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:38.320
from a 13-inch laptop so you might as well just get one of those

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:41.520
but horseshoe bend is a 12-inch device

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:42.560
that unfolds into essentially a 17-inch

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:46.960
ipad that runs Windows

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

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

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:58.160
phone or a small laptop with a magnetically attached bluetooth keyboard

00:04:57.440 --> 00:05:04.960
or fully unfold them and have a full desk setup with peripherals before this

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:08.400
year's ces i thought that future was a lot farther off but

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.680
it turns out it's going to be here in a few months oh wow

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

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:23.440
we're more than friends you work for me and pulseway can work

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.120
for you pulseplay is the real-time remote monitor i swear i didn't write

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:31.199
these pulseplay is the real-time remote monitoring and management software that

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:34.560

functionality gives you access to your system's real-time status system

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:42.880
resources logged in users network performance and more and it doesn't

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:48.160
