"So the main features of this is we’re leveraging foldable OLED technology for the display. What that allows us to do is essentially design a device that’s not only thin, but also has the ability to have multiple functions where you can fold the display. It goes from a 13 inch display all the way to an 18 inch display, and you have a lot more screen real estate on this product. So, it’s an idea of leveraging the latest foldable OLED technology."

"You don’t actually need to be sitting outdoors or anything like that, this will absorb any light that’s above 0.3 watts. So for a little bit of context that’s about an LED nightlight. So anything that emanates more light than that you can get some benefits from. Of course direct sunlight is going to be, you know, the most powerful thing, but you’re still getting benefits, even if it’s just that incandescent lighting above you at an office."

STORYLINE:
Bigger is better – at least that’s what Lenovo thinks.
The Chinese tech company has revealed its newest concept laptop in Barcelona.
The ThinkBook Flip AI PC’s OLED display unfolds to give a screen that’s more than 18 inches tall.
It’s designed with business users in mind – perhaps those working on big spreadsheets, who want to see a bit more of their documents.
The track pad is illuminated and can be used for different functions, allowing users to access short cuts to the applications and functions they use the most.
It has an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and weighs 1.4 kilograms (3.1 pounds).
The device bends and includes a screen on the exterior when it’s fully closed.
"So the main features of this is we’re leveraging foldable OLED technology for the display," explains Sam Vang, a product technologist at Lenovo.
"What that allows us to do is essentially design a device that’s not only thin, but also has the ability to have multiple functions where you can fold the display. It goes from a 13-inch display all the way to an 18-inch display, and you have a lot more screen real estate on this product."
It’s not the only concept model Lenovo is showing off.
The company has also designed the Yoga Solar PC, which makes use of renewable energy.
It looks like a typical laptop – until it’s closed.
The exterior is covered with a solar panel.
Twenty minutes in direct sunlight can power video playback on the device for one hour.
Its solar panel has a 24% solar energy conversion rate, considered one of the best in the industry.
But sunshine is not required to keep it powered.
"This will absorb any light that’s above 0.3 watts," Kelly Corrigan, who also works as producttTechnologist at Lenovo, said.
