  1. Yeah, I don't think foldable PC laptops are going to be a thing until the windows on arm experience gets legit! I think a PC attempting to be that thin and foldable needs to be arm-based to really make it work.

  2. Ultimately, it comes down to “do we adapt ourselves to our work-device”, or do we expect “companies to adapt their devices to our myriad of quirky needs & foibles”, …being that the urban legend is that “‘everybody’s different’”⁉️. 😐

  3. For those concerned, it's important to note that (aside from the $5,000 price tag 👀) it wouldn't be a good idea to pick up a Spectre right now as HP is one of the companies being boycott by the Palestinian BDS National Committee. I think linking to the page would get the comment eaten by YouTube's systems, so I'll just say you can find more info under the "Campaigns" section of the BDSMovement website.

  4. I really hope microaoft figures out Windows to work much better with handheld PCs and foldables. This is something they hav3 to figure out if they want them to be successful.

  5. I can't wait for this stuff to become the norm, and at accessibly prices for the average person. We just need one to come out that has the power behind it to make it usable for creative professionals. That should be their key market for this type of device.

  6. I don’t think I like the idea of a “foldable future” for laptops. I have an iPad if I want just a display. I love laptops just the way they are. They’ve been around long enough that the build on almost all of them is trusty and hardy, the design works great, and there’s no threat of the display breaking in half randomly after a year or two

  7. I have never seen windows smoothly with changing resolution / aspect ratios / weird form factors, etc. and I think that almost immediately kills all of these products. It's just janky and not reliable. All Laptop manufacturers that want to try something nonstandard have to deal with the unfortunate reality that windows just cannot deal with their ideas. Even their own surface lineup has to deal with theses issues. Remember the Surface Books with the detachable screen? Same jank. Sometimes the locking mechanism wouldn't release. Sometimes the screen would detach but would stay in desktop mode with no touch keyboard, etc. Sleep and low power modes have been broken for decades (?) now.
    The reality is that windows has a very solid core that was built very early on and since then has accumulated layers of cruft and jank that just doesn't work very well. Makes all of these products pretty much DOA unless Microsoft starts releasing something similar in their surface lineup. Then maybe in the third or fourth iteration it starts becoming reliable.
