Expensive luxury land fill like all foldable displays currently are. This takes it to the extreme. I am not impressed. We should be building for sustainability at this stage of our existence and this is exactly the opposite of it. Plus it runs the worst touch based operating system on the market.
I suspect that if Apple released this, this site would be cheering for it.
I'd be really excited if they offer this as part of their ZenScreen portable monitor range. They seem to be currently mostly 1080p but a folding 17" or larger HiDPI screen for an existing laptop would be brilliant. I generally like smaller laptops like the MacBook Air or XPS 13. I could see me using a tri-fold ZenScreen in hotel room and then just the laptop on a plane/train tray table. https://www.asus.com/Displays-…
> smaller laptops like the Macbook Air iPad Pro 12.9” as external second hidpi/retina monitor for Macbook is remarkable in three modes - USB-C to USB-C for all day powered zero latency extended desktop - WiFi for cable free extended desktop - keyboard mouse sharing (by pushing your Macbook cursor against the side of your laptop screen by the iPad, till it “pops” onto the iPad) for seamlessly running Macbook apps and…

Haha yea maybe my glasses are a little tinted, but I think you're conflating two different points. Apple has released flawed products in the past, but they rarely (never?) include emerging tech that isn't polished enough for mainstream consumption. I say this as a former Android user who loved touting that "Android had that feature first", but it's hard to deny that features like mobile payments have just been execut…
> I say this as a former Android user who loved touting that "Android had that feature first", but it's hard to deny that features like mobile payments have just been executed better by Apple. This, but like 10x. It's like most non-Apple manufacturers just bash shit together without ever looking whether it even works and then lose interest in 1 or 2 generations. Apple eventually comes along and uses the technology to…

Rise tinted glasses much? Apple have had more than their fair share of bad tech. Such as fanless computers overheating, keyboards that break, monitor hinges that tear the monitor cable, and the first iPhone had fewer features than many of the “dumb” feature phones released years prior. I say this as someone who owns a lot of Apple hardware too. So this isn’t some anti Apple bias Moreover it’s pretty absurd to say tha…
It's ridiculous how much of a premium people pay towards Apple.

Slightly incidental, but after years of working out of hotel rooms, I’ve found that a 15.6” 4K portable display placed on a small tripod (Arca-Swiss mount) sitting directly above the main display of my 14” Macbook has been the perfect travel setup. It’s a dual-display setup, portable (similar area to the computer itself), similar desktop area and font resolution to the native panel, and prevents you from craning your…
I agree. This has been my setup as of lately https://imgur.com/a/1CjpS8G . Portable 4k screen (the glare in the photo is not really visible in front). . Custom mount for the laptop and a . Wireless thinkpad keyboard with a trackpoint (which I love). The cabling management has improved now, but this setup gives plenty of screen real estate, both displays are touch, and in comparison with a tablet where the application…

I use a small [Neewer tripod]( https://amzn.asia/d/dhkt0hd ) connected to an Swfoto Arca-Swiss tablet holder (link below in this thread).
Aw man, not your fault, but the Amazon app does not handle the switch from US to Japan store smoothly at all
amazon.com link to what I believe is the same product.

Oh, and let's not forget about 3D touch, or the macbook touch bar. How did those do after 1-2 years?

I've done a similar setup, but for a minimalist mount, used two 12in rulers, and gaff tape to make a hinge, a strap connecting the other ends, and a stop on one of them. So a heavy thinkpad sits on the desk ruler, leaning back against the other and the strap, with the bottom keyboard edge sitting between strap and stop. It's fragile, and I fear someday there will be a bump, crash, and sadness, but it's light, compact, and easily recreated.
