The Lenovo ThinkPad Display Laptop features a 17.3-inch Micro-LED display with smaller pixels for a higher color gamut, increased brightness, and efficiency compared to OLED displays. The flat, touch-sensitive keyboard allows for seamless switching between typing and drawing using a stylus. With its see-through display, the laptop can blend into its surroundings and offer 1,000 nits of brightness for versatile indoor and outdoor usage. Lenovo claims the laptop can interact with physical objects in real space.
While details about its internal hardware are scarce, it is speculated to house the latest Intel Core Ultra chip. Despite the innovative design, concerns about fingerprint smudges on the transparent screen and keyboard may deter some users. Currently, this product is solely a proof of concept and not available for purchase.
