    The laptop is expected to have a 14 inch, 2880 x 2800 pixel OLED touchscreen display with a 120 Hz refresh rate…

    Square aspect ratio (nearly) gang!

    I suspect this is just a typo, since it’s not consistent with the aspect ratio depicted in the mockups. But it would be rad if weren’t. And preferably without the stupid display hinge motor.

    My 2013 Fujitsu Lifebook does this and has an Ethernet port, five USB ports, two headphone jacks, and a stylus. Seems like a downgrade ¯_ (ツ)_/¯

    My old Thinkpad X200T rotates like that, but it doesn’t need any motors to do it. Motorizing it seems like it’s just adding more points of failure for no good reason.

    The rotation is the wrong way. I’d want the screen to rotate to portrait mode.

      Love my yoga.

      I don’t use it as a tablet much, but being able to flip the keyboard away so I can just watch stuff is nice. Or if I’m conferring with someone the tablet mode is great (touch screen with stylus).
