What’s in your laptop? Comparing a 13-inch touchscreen OLED screen to a Folded Display for Use with an App Launcher and a Number Pad

At Mobile World Congress 2025, held in Barcelona, Lenovo swaggered in again with several new laptop concepts to show off. There’s a solar- powered laptop, a laptop with screen that flips and folds, and an attachment that can turn one screen into three for maximum productivity. Here is what they’re like.

Outside of its screen, the Flip’s other unique feature is its Smart ForcePad trackpad. It has three layers of touch and media controls that you can call up. They can be used as an app launcher, as well as serve as a number pad or button for your mic. The company’s dream setup would be to replace the display with a mobile device, but it would cost too much. The illuminated icons offered a compromise.

This is essentially a 13-inch laptop, but the rest of the flexible touchscreen OLED display folds over the top of the lid. That means when the machine is closed, you still get a small screen to view, turning it into a tablet. Use your laptop with a 13-inch screen if you open it. You can even mirror the screen that’s facing you to the outward part that’s facing away, which allows the person across from you to see what you’re doing (if you’re presenting something, for example).

You manually flip this screen up to turn it into an 18.1-inch behemoth with a 4:6 aspect ratio. You can split apps to make use of the screen real estate or fill the entire screen with an app. As someone who uses multiple screens every day to be productive, the taller screen will certainly be helpful to have two full-size browser windows on top of each other. The only flaw I noticed was that the top part of the screen tends to lean forward a bit, though Lenovo assured me this was just an early concept preproduction model and that other versions are sturdier.’
